1992 Talon Tsi AWD 5 speed 6 bolt

I just did timing belt, turbo replacement, headgasket. Car idles horribly and eventually dies. We were all set to check the timing, with the thing grounded that needs to be. With the timing light hooked to Cylinder 1, we can't see the timing marks on the crank pulley. I am 100% positive the timing marks were perfectly aligned (after many sets of rotations) when I was finished with the belt. We are getting spark, and fuel. Is the timing just really off somehow? Thanks, and hopefully I can make it to the cookout tomorrow!
