did u relocate your MAF sensor? im in the process of turboing my car right now and i relocated my MAF sensor and it took us more than a day to figure out why the car isnt starting... we did what u did by putting the stock ECU back on too... take a picture of ur engine bay too so we can see whats going on

i relocated mine to where the charge pipe was except it was about a foot away from the turbo itself... getting wrong airflow so it was killing each time i try to start the car... did u have to hardwire ur greddy blue? were the injectors new or used?

The beige/brown circle is where you want to place the MAF (Inbetween the throttle body and the BOV)

The PINK Line with a cirlcle it the intake and filter off of the turbo where the MAF is NORMALLY located.

The car should start/idle fine with the 440cc injectors with no problem.

Try this out and see if it starts.

Well it depends. If you have the maf before the turbo, but have the pipes ran directly to the TB you should be ok. if you have the maf before turbo, but dont have the turbo hooked up to the TB I think you will have probs. I believe it has to be "closed loop" more or less, where air is not introduced after the maf. lol I dont kno if I understood wat you meant, and I may have confused you more XD

make sure maf is seated and pluged in all the way.
check charge pipe connections for leaks
make sure connections are tight
check the bov and see if its stuck open for some reason
make sure your vac lines are connected and sealing
make sure there is not anything in the turbo or pipes that shouldnt be there
