Default TURBO not running right HELP

everything were put on.. and i started the car... at first it shaky then it shut off.. i higher the idle now it start but the engine shake real bad...i sometimes gas it a little bit and it revs a bit then shut off... i also running an FMU and it was too rich black smoke come out pretty thick. i run straight from the manifold because I did not weld the muffler up. my friend said that the injector might be bad. but i changed it, the same problem still occur..any idea since im not good with turbo to start with i dont know where to begin to look for the problem

I think your running pig rich with the fmu and bigger injectors. I'd ditch the fmu for something else.

i think i might change back into stock injector and use the FMU... since my friend said that the ebay injector maybe broken .. i mean i did bought it used. but too rich make your engine shake real bad?

pull out your plugs if they are black then you are running rich swap back to factory injectors or get a AFC.
