Not really enough info to go on.
Any codes?, lights? or something happen prior to it stopping.
Assuming you had no check lights and the engine was running smoothly, you have battery power and fuel, start with the basics like the vacuum hoses. Just follow the vacuum hoses around the engine, you are looking for a hose that has either fallen off or broken off.
The fact it fires up, then stops could lead to a fuel issue. Could be a blocked fuel filter, or a failing fuel pump. When you leave it a few minutes it allows the fuel rail to fill slowly, when you start it, then engine uses the fuel in the rail but not enough getting through to maintain a running engine.
This is just a guess.

Hi,
I have a similar problem to this one and also when i do get it started the turbo is gone.
Did you find the root of the problem??
I had the fuel pump and relay changed but to no effect.
Thanks.
