Default RS Turbo overfueling

Hi again peeps,

my bro inlaw has fitted a turbo engine to his convertible escort, we cut in the whole front of the loom from the turbo so nothing is missing. But now the engine is running it appears to be overfuelling on 2 cylinders, from memory i thing it is 2 and 3. Is there anything common that would cause this to happen or is it possibly a more in depth problem?

Cheers in advance again
Mike

if it is on an MFI setup, the two injectors could be blocked, the metering head could be malfunctioning.

if it is EFI, not a clue!
