Default new turbo not running right

i have a 89 civic hatch with an ls turbo. t3-60 turbo 7 psi jackson racing fmu 40 psi at idle stock injectors. i think the problem im having is fuel cut, 1st and second gear are ok but high 2nd and every other gear if u floor it, it makes a loud wooshing sound a/f guage goes to lean and the car has no power. i also get a map sensor code. i think my problem is i need bigger injectors. can someone please help.

Make sure you didn't mix up the lines on the FMU. I think the one in the center goes to the firewall, and the other to the regulator... but I you'd better double check. If you put it on backwards, you'll have huge problems like this.

At the very least, you need a checkvalve or missing link. Without that, your car will also have huge problems.
