not sure on that.

Sorry to hear you're going through such a headache and still haven't had a resolution. Hope it's something simple and you or the shop can quickly get to the bottom of it.
thanks, i might just follow IAG's recommendations and run it with the turbo kit since they said might be a tuning issue.
I began asking IAG for some assistance/advice. They said that compression and leak down should wait til break in. they also said that high fuel trims might be caused by my setup lower compression block with a stock tune, they recommended a base tune, i do have a base tune by for a turbo kit, but since it seems im really unlucky. I got my turbo kit the other day (hooray), but they forgot to make my manifold a recirc dump so back it goes to get fixed. ugh.

Actually, since you said you're using 10:1 CR, it might make sense to have high positive LTFT using a stock rom since the baseman is for 12:1. You're sucking in more air then ECU expects so its giving you more fuel. Talk with your tuner
Well no my issue of starting up and shutting off immediately still happens but i believe it only happens when the car is cold. I remember seeing a thread about the issues im having minus the high fuel trims.

IAG mentioned the reason why i might be seeing high fuel trims because stock tune with lower compression may cause it. I still want a more definitive answer since my motor is currently out of the car again. I believe the high fuel trims could probably be tuned out since i have confirmed my injectors work, and my fuel pump is fine, i added a fuel pressure gauge inline on the fuel lines. I'll have to wait since i do have a base tune for built motor with turbo and have to wait for my turbo hot parts to come back after they fix the issue of forgetting to make a recirc dump tube manifold/downpipe.

a thread where the OP had almost the exact same issues i had. seems to have solved it by tuning it out.
