So I started my car last week after finishing putting in the turbo and realized I had a oil leak...I locked my car keys inside. So I took the battery cables off...car was still running. So I took the the alternator cable off and car was finally able to turn off and stop spilling oil. When I did manage to get my keys and turn the car on it will turn over but die immediately after going under 1k rpm. It didn't do this before. Before doing the turbo swap, I had switched the battery, alternator and starter. Any ideas on why it dies?
