After alot of hard work with my friends and I we got my SR started and running. I took it up the street about maybe 30-40 feet and pushed down the gas. The turbo spooled and it cut all power in my car. I step on the gas and I hardly move I'm thinking there is an air leak. Does this sound familar to anyone.

you need to explain more, by cutting all power, do you mean electrical power, or just no response from the engine.

Im assuming that your talking about the engine not having power. Did it bogg, and shake when you floord it and drive like that the eniter time.
Most likly, you have a leak. Check and tighten all your pipeing.

I got my car to boost earlier today but ever since then my wastegate remained open and the turbo just blows it out the blow off valve. I need to know if anyone knows how I can fix that or if I need to get another one. If I do where could I buy one at.

I had a leak in the piping. Mostly my coolant piping. Yeah the power in the engine just wouldn't work I couldn't go any faster than 10 mph. But now it works for some unknown reason the wastegate is stuck and I can't get it to close everything just goes to the BOV.
