most likely your ignition contact switch mate..

i disconnected the ignition switch and linked it out as if i was hot wiring it and still nothing the voltage just dropped

Bad earth?

ah ok.. as said it sounds like bad earth. duno were all the earth points on it are, but find out and go through them

this might sound stupid but did ya try changing battery as it might hav plenty power to throw on lights on dash but not enough to turn starter..then bring a earth from the earth lead of battery to a clean part of body..and u didn't by any chance change the ignition or ecu before this problem......or had u a turbo gasket problem?? cause if the square turbo gasket goes it sometimes burns out the ignition module across from it (small square black box with a connection either side of it tis bolted to the body across from the turbo...sometimes called coilpack equaliser) and also check wires on plugs incase they scorched together..

hope any info was helpful
