need help you guys..
im going crazy trying to figure out whats wrong with my bugeye.
specs: 2.0L stock, stage 2, XPT tune, TBE, UP, K&N filter, 255lph, VF39, 565cc injectors..
it was tuned 2 weeks ago and runs smoothly and holds boost.
this morning i used the car to go to work and ran snoothly.
now after getting off work, the car started then died after 10 secs.
i tried to start it again but the nothing.
here are my observations:
fuel pump is running everytime i put the key on "ON" position.
the car cranks but doesnt turn over.
the cluster doesnt show any CEL, oil light, hand brake light etc... only the door jam and mileage are on.
i tried jump starting it using a jump cable but nothing.
now im clueless on whats wrong with the car...please help

Did you detonate or backfire or experience any other odd engine related things on the way to work?
One of the reasons a car can have trouble turning over is compression. If you have low compression and it's not kicking it over you could have some serious issues.
It could be a number of things ranging from something loose to something huge broken. Did you do your spark plugs recently? is it possible that something backed out related to the plugs? A loose coil pack or a bad coil pack?
When you have this kind of problem it's usually...
1. Lack of compression.
2. Lack of fuel
3. Lack of fire.
You said you're getting fuel... or at least the pump is functioning. So it's probably one of the other 2.

Try swapping batteries with someone?
Where's your work? Maybe someone could swing buy and swap batteries with you. If it turns over... problem solved.
We have crappy alternators so it's not uncommon for a battery to get overworked. Once they're totally tapped out they're pretty useless even when jumping.
