That's kinda like what mine is doing. cept mine will idle if I take off the huge vacuum line on the intake manifold going to the break booster. Yours sounds a little easier to diag than mine. Stock injectors? Maf? chipped ecu? Have you tried unplugging the maf to see if it will idle?

Try unpluging the coolant temp sensor too. Did u take the intake manifold off at anytime? and when u try to start it and it runs can u give it gas to raise the rpm's? or does it just break up and sputter real bad.

Your turbo is loud because you have no exhaust connected.

You went from 270cc injectors to 440cc injectors. You NEED that tune. Your going to dump so much fuel through the injectors it'll wash down the cylinder walls and the rings will scrape since the fuel washed the oil off.

Untill then it'll run like crap. Make sure you don't have any boost leaks because that will cause big issues too.
