Update i put one of my old injectors in and was revving ok but can't get it to idle, so changed back to all the old injectors and now it still won't idle, we'll idles a couple of seconds then dies. If I take the air filter off the mfi metering unit and touch the paddle it will idle but when its warm it won't start unless I mess with the paddle

I'd get it to a professional tuner who has experience of working on these rs turbos.
