Default turbo done......engine won't start

teg. I got hondata tuned at 6 psi. Now when i go and start the car it turns over and thats it. I adjust my fpr (aeromotive) down a little to about 25 psi. Now when i start the car it will just barley begin to start. Next i try holding down the gas and it gets it going but its running horrible and dies after about 5 seconds.

Only thing i can think of is idle screw on my im. Please help me out here.

Thanks

o ya, and i still ahve the old 89 gas in the tank, there is smoking coming out of my open downpipe, and i didn't touch spark so everthing should be alright there.

did you get a base map, if so that could be your problem.
did your car run before the turbo install?
i went threw 4 base maps before i got my car running.

pretuned to 6psi doesnt have **** to do with firing the car up, sounds like you need another base map
