Hey gang, need some help with this whole ECMLink. I installed it, upgraded to 800cc injectors, tried to start it and it choked ask over itself. I'm brand new to this turbo thing so that’s a curve ball.

Any help would be God sent. Thanks in advance. (currently own a 2000 GT and love it..!!!).

How accurate is your profile for this car now?
This doesn't look like a brand new ECMLink configuration. Is it used?
After you changed the injectors did you pressure test the intake? (Boost Leak Test)

There are several things I'd change and then add logging of Battery Voltage, Baro, ISCPosition and get another startup log.

Turn off (uncheck the box)
Simulate idle switch from TPS on RPM/TPS tab.
Disable MAF Compensation w/SD operation on MAF Comp tab.
Enable MAF Clamp on the MAF Clamp tab.
Enable idle air clamp on Idle Air tab.
Enable boost control on Boost (WGS) tab.
Disable airflow smoothing w/SD operation on Misc tab.
Automatic Transmission on DTCs tab.
Lock intake temperature and barometric pressure on the ECU Inputs tab.

Turn on (check the box)
Use non-95/96 style cam angle sensor on Misc tab.

Select Stock IM for Display Template on MAF Comp tab.
Select Undefined for Manifold Pressure (MAP) on the ECU Inputs tab.
