Bad noise

I just installed a fuel pump, Boost Gague, and a MBC. So on my statup it sounds awful. It sounds like a lawnmoer when it start up and you can hear a click click click click click sound. It also smells like fuel as soon as it starts up.

Here is a link to the video ( Sorry for crappy quality) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4UffHVkIq4

Any ideas?

1st, did you plug your maf sensor back in? is the maf pipe fully secured to turbo and no unmetered air entering in.
2nd, double check your boost gauge vaccum lines, are they zip tied on? are you sourcing the boost/vaccum from from the fuel pressure vaccum line on the left side of the intake manifold? make sure the lines are zip tied
3rd, double check your fuel pump install.
4th, check all of your mbc vaccum lines and make sure they are zip tied on.

even though you didnt touch them, it sounds like to me all 4 cylinders are not firing and since one of them isnt igniting the fuel that could be where the smell is coming from. check your spark plugs
