You have to be blunt Scott.
Rex8y find another tuner and also do a compression test. 93k on an engine may make every attempt to fix a problem completely useless.

Either you have lost an ignition coil or your engine is blown. Just remove the ignition coil connector clips of the second rotor and try to crank the engine. If it will start then do again the same action but this time remove the first rotor ignition coil’s connector. If it will never start then the problem resides in the second rotor ignition coils or spark plugs or plugs wires. If ignition coils/spark plugs/plugs are ok (replace first the ignition coils) the engine is blown.

I have no clue what that is or means...
but I will be towing my car to the tuner
I changed coils, plugs, wires and it did the same i changed the tuners map to factory and it was still doing the same, soon my friday i will let you guys know what exactly was the problem with the car just in case it happens to someone else again they can use this as a reference...

It is very common to turbocharge a many miles renesis and blow up the engine because the apex seals are very worn and cannot handle even the lowest boost.
You should always measure compression before turbocharging.
Keep us updated for your issue

blown engine as rotarypilot predicted thanks everyone for all the help specially rotary pilot that knew what he was talking about since the beginning...

Yes this is possible. However, another possibility is that the engine had a lot of miles and the apex seals could not handle the boost. Finally, emange tuning may be the weak point (if that RX-8 was tuned with emanage )

the tool used to do the tuning is not as important as the person doing the tuning. It very well could have been a bad engine to begin with but we will never know. Either way, boosting a high mileage Renesis without planning for a rebuild is crazy. I hope the OP has the means to get the engine rebuilt and get back on the road.
