Need some help! weird popping noise and gasoline smell

Soo I put on a sc kit and was pretty much done. Just wrote the tune in and was filling the heat exchanger with coolant. Well I first filled the heat exchanger then when it was done bubbling I turned the key on the on position so I could write in the tune. When I finished writing it in I was going to go check the heat exchanger hose to see if it was still bubbling and some weird noise somewhat like a bunch of air escaping but for a split second happened and now I smell some gasoline. Anyone know what I needa do or did wrong? I still havent filled the radiator with coolant

I think it was both lol.
In my desperation to get the damn thing running already I forgot to plug the line thats on the throttle body back in.(had taken it off when changing the oil because it was in the way of my hand) Also I broke a bolt that holds the fuel rail down and didnt notice until after I was inspecting it this morning. Thats where the spilled gasoline seemed to be. In the 4th injector or the one thats closest to the drivers side. Now I just needa get a left handed drill bit to get the damn broken bolt out because I couldnt do it earlier today. Sometimes I hate having to go to school. Anyways hoping when I get home today I will be able to get the bolt out, replace it and get the car running finally.
