Turbo Help!

my car was turboed last week and i have only been experiencing problems. my car is a lx with a vtec head swap and so far, the turbo kit was on a ex before tuned for a ex and the shop wired it up like a ex, is there any wire differences, i have all the harnesses but can the wiring/jumpers/settings be different? my car is running fine considering i found my alternator fuse blown and replaced it and checked wiring and seems ok. the only thing is the turbo isnt kicking in anymore and no blow off valve sound... any thoughts?
lol

thanks

If it blows off again, grab a can of hair spray and spray the pipe with a light coat and slide them back together. Don't use too much, cuz when you wanna take the coupler off, you will be grabbing the utility knife
