I would check your wiring bud, an ignition fuse doesnt normally blow unless there is a short somewhere or you're running something off of the ignition circuit thats taking a huge chunk of power and/or failing.

definitely check ALL the wiring that was done, especially any ecu wiring. wiring problems have a tendency of sneaking up on you.

Did you remove the battery ground during the repair? Maybe double check those connections.

Glad to hear you found the problem AND replied to let us know what the solution was. Can't even recall how many threads i've come across here where I was having a similar problem, but the solution was never posted.

i think it could of been 2 reasons i have pretty big system and i had the wrong size battery in the can and the terminals would touch the hood soo maybe it had grounded out and killed the alternator.

hey I have a 09 tc looking to add a whole turbo set up .. i did research today on the greddy t4 kit and in the end they said to get proper hp id have to rebuild the tranny and get the timer and then greddy exhause (to match the whole system) cost= 8200 in parts.. then i ran into a guy that said dont go turbo all his buddies with 07s barely hit the gas and blew their engines and said all the engines are crappy and cant handle turbos ... anyway would you mind sharing your set up.. andd have you had any problems.. Also , pros cons
thanks (:
