Default TURBO installed, Now won't start HELP!!!

Heres the background. Installed T3 turbo, intercooled.... 255 in take fuel pump 450 injectors and VAFC.... Running 6 psi of boost.. Car ran fine for about 10 mins and then pulled up to a stop sign and car just sputtered a little bit and stalled then it wouldn t start back up... No codes are being thrown from the ecu.. Pulled the plugs and I was not running to lean and they are not fouled. Did a compression test and all cylinders checked out to 190... Any ideas??? I am baffled and everyone that has looked at it has no clue!!!

I checked the wires.. They look good still they R soldered in.. I had it lean 15% 1000-4000 10% 4000 and up... That is how they told me to put it until I got it 2 the dyno... But it didn t make it.... LoL I am baffled never heard of anything like this B4...

you should be in the negative percent, not the postive, if you are running 450's. i had -38 to -35 for my setup.

set the afc to like -38% and see if it will start then. Next listen to the engine at idle slowly adjust the afc so that the engine sounds happy and is smooth. It should be between -35 and -40%. Now set it 1 or 2% rich every 1000rpm's after 3000. This should get you safe till you can get it tuned.
Also incase you forgot.... you did retard the timing to atleast 12 degrees btc instead of the stock 15 odd

Just set the acf to 35% across the range and drive it off boost there. It should still be rich but should start at that.
