Starting problem with GT4 turbo engine

my son is having problems with his st162 with a turbo GT4. After removing the air intake from turbo to filter, and cleaning it with degreaser and (water) due to oil entering the intake, the car won't start. We've tried throttle body fluid in the air module it tries to start but doesn't get to idle or maintain the ignition.
Any advice would be appreciated.

yes, ive made that mistake once or twice  or, one of the PCV hoses isnt connected up, when that happens on my 185 itll start idle for a sec then promptly die. check AFM is plugged back in, and that all air hoses related to the intake pipe are replaced.

Thanks guys, we've discovered the problem.
Cam removed the socket from the intake and broke some solder joints.
All fixed.
