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?
