Default Re:Turbo Installed. Wont Start. HELP!

Only after smc was installed. I figured because my fuel pressure was so high because of the high flow pump. Well I reset the map clip voltage on the smc to 3.05 and that seemed to help. It idled very low then made its way up. Just having problems keeping it running. Its so damn rich. I was running -35 cross the board. And yeah I cross referenced everything. =[ Pain in the ***. Tomorrow I guess I'm going to rewire my injectors?? I dont know what to do.

-35 is still going to be way too rich for idle or out of boost. try -46 or -47 to get the flow back to an equivalent of 240cc for idle and off boost.

Well I got it running with -47 idle and -46 everywherelse. Got a stock fuel pump for $120 from Discount Auto. Ran fine. First test drive. Holy ----. Now that feels grrrreat! Until a 2 charge pipes flew off a few secs after I hit boost, and then it fouled the plugs haha. Oh well its ready to go again. Hopefully with better results this time lol.

you're running a smc right? does that allow for different corrections for lo throttle % and hi throttle%? if it doesn't i would get to a dyno for some wideband tuning asap to make sure when your getting into boost your corrections are ok. like i was saying before if your turbo is small like mine you'll be pretty close, but you might have to richen it up a little as your rpm increases, but leave the idle and 1k setting there.

i'm glad you were able to get it up and running.

my idle settings seem to cause the car to not always start. And also its bogged out and stalled on me a few times. In boost im always rich. Pretty damn rich actually. What should I do?

man this is so bizarre that you are still rich even with those settings. i was having the opposite problem when i installed mine and had to lean it way out into the -40's. this post has gotten long so forgive me if we have already gone here, but did you get your injectors cleaned and balanced? they might be sticking/leaking causing such rich conditions...especially at boost.
