Nice work! What ended up being the problem for it not starting? I think if you have timing locked at 12, that may be too low for a cold engine. Try locking it at 15 or 20, then verify your timing with a light. Then fine tune the offset you already did manually. It may only be a degree or two, but you want it to be right, especially in a turbo application. After you get that set, you can unlock it and let it run on the table. Also, if the TB throttle plate adjustment didn't do anything, maybe you have a vaccuum leak?
Do you have an IAC valve? My TB uses the GM type and I learned the hard way that GM made two different types. One has a brass plunger on it and one with a rubber plunger. The brass punger is smaller and therfore didn't seal off the hole. Thus, a huge vaccum leak! Once I got the one with the rubber plunger, I was able to control idle.

Turned out to be the MS3X with noise filter on was filtering out the crank signal, so with that off was able to pick it and fired up. Yeah I'm going to bump up the timing to 18, then maybe it will end up at 20*. And go from there. As far as the TB is a Godspeed 90mm so the throttle stop is on a insert locking with a Alan key in the center, so that was a little loose and just the tps is on it, the intake air sensor is in the elbow. I need to set it and lock tight it in good so it don't move, that's next on the list, and double check all the vacuum lines, all are on barb fittings with zip ties to ensure but you never know.
