Default NEED HELP: GETTING CAR STARTED WITH TURBO!

My Setup:
Ls motor(97)
T3/T4 Greddy turbo kit
255 walboro fuel pump
fmu (vortec 12:1)
310 injectors

I was boosting all day for the first time but at the end of the day i came to a stop. i took off in first gear and my car started to bog out and the rpm dropped to 0 shutting my car off. i kept cranking my car for 15 minutes until it finally started. But i could only drive it for 15 minutes until it shut off again but only this time it was idling. I was running stock injectors that time. I took off my fmu and one of the intercooler pipes so i wouldnt be boosting and the car finally started up again some time later. i started my car again two days later never dorve since and it started up like normal. i was warming it up for 5 minutes until it finally shut off. i put back the fmu and put on my 310 injectors and started up again but only for 5 minutes. I then sprayed brake cleaner in the intake manifold while starting it and it worked but when you stop spraying the car shuts off! i changed my spark plugs and fuel filter and did a spark plug test and was fine! Please help me why my car wont start up and run normal?

get rid of the fmu...it is basically a band-aid for a boosted engine

1. Ditch the FMU
2. Ditch the 310cc injectors
3. Learn more about your setup because IIRC, Greddy doesn't sell a T3/T04 setup....it could be another company's kit or a smaller Greddy setup
4. Get a chipped P28 and tune it on Crome w/ some DSM 440cc injectos

if you do all of that, i would give you a 90% chance of success...there is a small chance that something is already screwed up but i doubt it by your description....and if you need help just post up or PM me...

1. put your stock injectors back in
2. remove any check valves or missing link from the map sensor
3. limp your car to a reputable shop
