Car won't stay running! W00t!

Yeah, the car ran fine before I installed the S5 turbo. The old turbo was bad, so I had to replace it.

I can't remember the ECU # off the top of my head, but it's the ECU and harness that came with the motor. I pulled the engine and everything out of a donor car and swapped it over. Like I said before, the car ran perfectly fine before swapping the turbos.

I haven't tried to pull codes, I had a wedding to go to last night and it cut short my time to work on the car.

I'm just seeing if anyone has a possible guess as to what could be the culprit. I can't really test for a vacuum leak because the car only runs for about 10 seconds. The car will idle fine during those 10 seconds, but just die.
