So I finally have my car all setup. I go to turn the car over and the starter just spins it sounds like the solenoid isnt coming out, I replace the starter. The new one does the same thing. When I turn the key, the radio doesnt come on, and the guage cluster clock doesnt come on either. The only thing that will work is the starter and it just spins like a little airplane motor. What is happening? This **** is really pissin me off...Please help

You want to know what is happening? For all I know, it could be the invertor shell of the flux capacitor, or you need to hook your battery back up. How about we try: You say what you just did to the car (exactly), and what you have wired in or otherwise changed.
It's hard to tell you what's wrong without knowing what you did.

YES! What the hell is wrong with you? You are having an electrical issue with something that you *shouldn't* have messed with (starter) during the installation of a turbo kit. Am I correct?
If so, I/we need to know exactly what wiring you tapped into, removed, spliced. Any and all relevant information to help you troubleshoot is necessary.
There's a term in business: GIGO
Garbage In, Garbage Out. This is how a forum thread works, too. If you don't put the effort to FULLY EXPLAIN *ALL* pertinant information, you will get BS replies - then I'll lock the thread.
I really can't help troubleshoot an electrical problem without having a starting point to look.

oh don't be hurt.
you're not explaining the details of your problem.
You're asking us the equivalent of 'what's in the pope's backpack' when all we know is that there IS a pope and that there IS a backpack.
Essentially, the more information you can give us, the better we can provide you help.
What starter did you replace it with? Why did the old one fail? Who did your wiring?
MORE INFO.
I'd venture a guess that it's something stupid like you didn't put the backing plate on the motor before you installed the trans.

Check your battery. Working on your car without disconnecting your battery can cause that. And radio and lights not comming on is another reason i think its the battery.
