Default Engine cuts out. Manifold removal.

Hi Subaru fans.
I've recently removed the inlet manifold to replace the turbo inlet pipe (jubilee clip cut through old one on the turbo). Rebuilt everything now I have issues. It starts up can't find idle then cuts out. Not quite hunting, more of a cough and splutter. I've pulled everything off again to double check if I missed anything or pulled some thing off accidentally. All seems ok.
I've checked all connector pins which I've had apart- ok.
Checked vacuum pipes- ok.
Cleaned and inspected crank and cam sensors- ok.
Plugged in original ecu to see if it would pick up a fault- no fault codes.
My next step is to try and find a wiring diagram to check all wires.
Can anyone please offer any advice for this situation. The more I think, I can't think. aghh.
The vehicle is a V4 sti type ra 555 v-limited. Thanks Kev.

May not be getting fuel, have you checked the 3 fuel pipes are fitted correctly on the passenger side of the inlet manifold?

Yeah I understand what you mean as they are so close to each other but no injectors were disconnected as they lift out whilst still in the manifold. I disconnected from the main harness behind the battery. So the manifold comes off with a small wiring harness attached.
Hope that makes sense.
