Default Got my s1 kit installed! but help!

over the past year or so I worked on building my kit and bought everything piece by piece. Finally I got it installed but i have some questions. I'm getting a tune today but as of now, I'm getting about 10mpg=( eating gas like a truck. Is that normal? Also it get really hot by my feet when I'm driving and my engine temp. is normal. Also when i hear the turbo whining (not boosting) just on vac going to 0psi, i smell gas.

Please help me out and give me some ideas on what might be going on. THanks!

i wanted a tune from CFT lol. but they were packed until late next week. I got my base map put in there though. The motor itself is running fine and i'm not boosting at all. it starts up fine and runs perfect.

on the s-pipe, few inches away from oem bung, and about 10 degrees up from horizontal so it doesnt accumulate water.

so i went to deliriium to get a tune to find out my injectors are stock so i can only push around 6psi. kinda ____ed off. bought these injectors here off the forum because i was tolld they were 550cc. Also my engine light came on so they read the code and my crank sensor is bad. How much is it to fix it? and where can i get it fixed?

If your sensor is defective go to toyota and ask for a oem replacement but I say get a secod opinion just to make sure you won't spend money uneccesarily. O.E.M sensors are hella expensive so make sure it is truly not working. If CFT is packed check Titan I know theyv'e done a few turbo tc's.

Yeah be careful who you buy stuff from make you sure you see pictures of every part your going to purchase even though that doesn't guarantee you'll get it. Atleast you know what condition there in.

i saw the pics of the injectors and i'm talking to the guy i brought the injectors from him now. Delirium had another tc when i was there and they said they've worked on a couple tc's. ppl were cool there too.

Can anything go wrong if my crank sensor is bad?
