    Sounds coincidental & unrelated. Check battery clamps are tight and what is (attempted) cranking voltage?

    sounds like your battery is flat. Huge difference from required voltage for dash light illumination and starter cranking.
    From the photos you posted, the det sensor bypass fuse at the very least needs replacing. Will cause car to run overly rich and limit boost (safety mode).

    Start with the basics. Perform a compression test first. No point spending $$$ if the motor is stuffed.
    AIR- Check AFM connection and tension on all hose clamps
    FUEL- pull CAS, rotate and listen for injector clicks.
    SPARK- Pull coilpacks and plugs, place the plug within the coilpack and earth out plug base. Rotate CAS and check for spark.

    HUGE process of elimination with unknown motors. Few insignificant things combined will prevent starting.

    Check ALL of your connectors- CAS, AFM, Coilpacks, PTU, TPS etc etc.
