Default oil solenoid and clutch problems after APS ST kit

ok i need some help...

i just installed my APS single turbo kit and we finished it last night...got into the car and tryed to bleed the clutch lines and the clutch pedal wont even leave the floor..we started to get a little pressure in the pedal...and it is bleeding just fine, no leaks...what could it be???

then after we gave up on that we started the car up and the oil solenoid that is attached right next to the oil filter and also houses the oil pressure sensor is making a tapping sound and i would assume not flowing oil because the pressure guage is reading just a little over 0...and drops to 0 frequently...

do you think this could be caused by a defective solenoid? or maybe a bad ground??

any info could help, thanks

As far as the clutch goes, you still have air in the lines if the pedal isn't leaving the floor. I had the same issue after upgrading my clutch line and here's what I did ...

Get a tube and hook it to the bleeder valve, then into a cup of fluid (Motul RBF600 preferably).
Crack open the valve and have someone pump the clutch pedal up and down (by hand if necessary to get it off the floor) while someone else pours fluid in from the top once it gets low.
After 10-15 pumps, it should start coming back up and then you can bleed it normally.

It's a royal pain in the *** if you let all the fluid drain out and then try to bleed the system.
