Default boost issue

eve on eand eve all
right rs turbo engnie efi
put it in my estate hads lotsa problems but 2 things
a why wont the rs start of any other battery i tried 1.1 1.6 2.0 and 2.3 battery and nout also jump from another car and nothin any idea?
and b
when i hit 4k on the revs it splutters like mad and dnt boost correctly like it coughs really badly however when i floor it the thing rocxkets so is this fueling?plugs leads of just in need or a decent set up
its standard as far as i can tell may have cossy green injectors
has a k and n straight through system super chip and 10 psi boost.

no offence but 10psi of boost won't give anywhere near this power.
i'd say the injectors would be fine, but it sounds like the ecu isn't chipped to allow the boost you have as it'll be underfuelling.

as for starting, try the starter motor or the wiring to the starter.

if its OFAC or OFAB EFI then the injectors wont work due to the inpedence they work at

wont work at all or just intermittantly carl?
xrwishy it starts fine of me rs battery just more of a curiousity as tgo why u cant start them on these batterys and i know its not running 265 lol i turned the boost to 10 cos i need it reliable lol
it is chipped already tho with the super chip i was thinking just needed a decent set up
had to remove the iscv aswell as it revs the tits of the car and sticks on revs when u back down
any ideas on that problem.have changed the iscv as well so it aint that

i'd say you have an airleak on the inlet/vac pipe from the inlet.
that will cause the idle to sit high.
perhaps the rs battery has better cranking amps output.
