Well heres my story..i drove around car was running fine except on boost it was backfiring...brought her home let her idle for 15 mins and i popped my hood to check my FPR my elbow hit the intake pipe where the maf hooks up and she stalled...went to start it and no luck.....

Well Skipping all my trouble shooting I unplugged my 6 injectors and she fired right up ran for about 10 secounds BUT i plugged in the injectors turned the key AFR were 10.0 and it didnt sound good...died so i repeated the step of unplugging the injectors....

Info:Rb20 Chipped ECUFPR set to 38psi

I was a dip$hit and mangled some of my injector o-rings when I put them in. I didn't use enough lube. It's bad on rubbers to force them into holes without lubrication.

Er wait, are RB20 injectors top feed? I can never keep RB20 info straight for some reason.

Well i replaced the plugs cap of oil in each cyl.started it up but nothing..the FPR set to 18 psi was the only way she would idle and it was still idling at 10 A/r with bumpy idle....so it has to be my injectors calling D-Werks in the morning....cant belive it 300 miles on the dam things

you said you bumped the maf, unplug it and plug it back in; check for leaks18psi on fuel pressure is incorrect. did you adjust it w/ the vac line disconnected ?your injectors might be locked open.

i did take it off and plug it back in.... i understand fuel pressure is incorrect but the car wont start just flood itself at normal psi so i lowered it to 18 psi and she fired but is still running pig rich...it has to be my injectors i mean why eles would the car flood itself with massive amounts of fuel

EDIT:....come to think of it i think it was just a co winky dink that when i tapped the maf it died cuase the car was running rich while i was driving and on bost running 11's while a backfire from the wasegate but it wasnt like it was backfiring on all cyl. cuz it still pulled hard instead of losing power at that moment... has to be one injector that got stuck or is leaking unless some1 can tell me otherwise

UPDATE

Got my injectors back from D werks They Were Supposdly fine...

Car now idles at 43psi on the FPR but still runs super rich with a big time smoke show that smeels like pure fuel

ECU threw codes 13,12

Replaced the Temp Sensor and now im just stuck with a 12 ( MAF) Im geting a new MAF via the warrentee agreement i have with autozone and hopefully that should fix the issue...

Did you get the basic package? I'm contemplating on sending mine to them shortly.
