with no intercooler on the car will not run. it may fire and then cut out. The pipe from the turbo? do you mean the one that has the maf connected to it? if so your maf will not be registering any air going into the engine. So again will not run (probably will not start)

also check all your wiring as well. Have you gone from a phase 1 engine to a different phase engine?

with the IC off the engine will suck air through the throttle body, you might as well stick the MAF in the boot

You could do a check for error codes think that would work without the engine running. See if it throws up any sensors
to be honest I would get a mechanic to look at it. No disrespect intended.
