Was it making a clicking/popping noise while trying to crank? How many volts does your battery have?

obviously you are leaving things out. Where in the first post did you say anything about the TurboXS? Did you load a new tune? are you sure everything is plugged back in properly?

If it was running fine before your install, trace everything you worked on and make sure everything's good.

Probably the tune. You can't just throw injectors in the car, and drive off without a proper tune.

Psssst surrrreeee, reflashes = FTW!!!!!!

go to their website and load the 550cc turbonetics tune, My car ran rich as hell with the 600s in there, but it did run, as long as you don't try to put it under any load it should be fine.

Drive your car straight to a tuner and put it on a dyno to be tuned.

I assume you're running a turbo kit? if so, please don't even think about giving it more gas then what's needed to keep the car slowly moving at the speed limit. until you get tuned.
