Default Hard Start after Turbo Install.

Installed twin t3 57mm ebay turbos, no cold side. Started up to check for oil leaks. First try just cranked smelled like fuel, Foot to floor cranking got it running. Idles down and runs fine. Second time had to do same thing. Third attempt at starting just gave up. Any ideas? Nothing is loose all connectors on, running SD with HP tuners. No O2s and Wideband not installed yet.

I hope you had the injectors tuned in that PCM already because if not, you're flooding your cylinders with a crap ton of fuel.

If it ran with the same SD tune, with same injectors prior to the install and nothing else has changed fuel wise - I would check to make sure your cam sensor is getting counts. My car starts awful because the car can't figure out where the cam is at (so it dumps fuel on every cycle). Once it starts (I have to hold the pedal down as well to cut fuel) - it bypass's the cam sensor and runs great.
