Default Oh god...I think I messed something up. Am I running too rich?

I put in some DSM injectors, the 450's from the turbo eclipse. My turbo is not installed yet. After running my car, it idles a bit rougher but at the same RPM, kind of like an old chevy truck does. It also bogs HARD when I hit the gas hard and it gets to high RPMs. Please tell me this is just because I'm running too rich and will be fixed when I put the turbo on tomorrow? Is it going to hurt my car driving like this until the turbo is on? Is there any other reason it could be bogging so hard, like the fuel pump needs to be switched too?

450cc? you're not controlling your fuel at all, you're flooding it, i'm surprised your even get the damn thing to idle....jsut install the turbo and fix your fuel management, you have wayyyy too much fuel for your own good.

you can **** up rings and your catalytic converter by running too rich

too much fuel washes the cylinder walls down, thus no lube for the rings.
