You likely hit the starter with your screw driver. Looks like something to your ignition took a hit or is loose

Get your battery and alternator tested, make sure your battery terminals are tight. Is the car starting now under it's own battery power?

The boost problem is probably related to the LICP. Make sure its on good and tight and no leaks.

I had a similar issue on my IX. I hit a deer with my car it has been fixed, but since then the battery is continually draining. I have replaced the battey twice, Very costly. It runs fine once it's started and running.

When I get into it and it really boosts I notice my gauges dim, usually about the same time My wastegate is open and my alcohol is injecting. one time I stalled it out accidentally and it wouldn't start, like no battery the gauges barely even lit the battery voltage was below 9V. Jumped it and it made it home.

When I shut it down usually it'll start right back up. but if it sit's for three days or so it'll die and need to be jumped. then while running the gauges and lights will dim but only while boosting. sometimes when I shut it off it will not start while other times it'll start right up.

It's really weird!! My car is in the shop now and they are supposed to be going over it.
