NEED Help! Having an ignition problem :(

Hey everyone, I could use some help on diagnosing whats wrong with my 8 I havnt figured it out yet. Just about a month ago my car would crank then turn over almost immediatly, now when I turn the key it cranks for a while longer then I hear a squeek noise when it fineally starts, What could this be, mind you I do have the GReddy turbo kit installed right now. I have only replaced the plugs so far I have, could it maybe me the coils or plug wires?? Please help.

Could be the plugs..

Squeek noise could be the alternator belt is loose. After a long crank it would be dragging while the engine first accelerates.
