Talking ISSUE SOLVED! No start (2008 Impreza WRX STI Hatch)

Bit of a long thread!

I'll go from the beginning, in April I started to do a few different mods, as follows; new turbo, FMIC, 1050cc injectors, TGV delete, fuel rails and lines, FRP, 3 port boost sol, secondary air pump removed and blanked and lastly RCM ex headers. It's taken me a while as I've only worked on it a few weeks here and there. I finally got around to turning the key, however beforehand like a fool (no idea how I managed it) connected the battery the wrong way around, blowing the 120amp fuse. I collected a new one and fitted it, confirmed I had lights on the dash, shut it all off and (rightly so) put my tools down for that weekend. Today I went back to try and start the car, had the standard flashing diff and sports mode lights as I've had quite a few bits unplugged, I also noticed after the gauge sweep, the coolant gauge shoots straight to max. I turned ignition off ready to connect up my scan tool to check/clear codes, with ignition off the tool powers on, when I turn ignition on the tool powers off ( I've tried 2 diff scan tools Carly and a generic tool, both do the same). When I turn the key to start I get no clicks or clunks from any relays. Any advice would be appreciated as I'm at a bit of a loss. Cheers all.

Nope! Luckily not, it was the earth on the intake manifold, I took it off at some point and must of forgot to fit it again!
