--Need HELP! Starting issue--

Hey guys! So, yesterday morning I went to start my car and it fired up perfectly, idle was normal as it should be on cold start. It was stored in the garage for only a few days. I then proceeded to reverse out and it stalls out. I kept trying to crank it and it wouldn't start. After a few cranks it starts but idles at 100-200 rpms and starts going rich reading 12 dropping to 10 then dies! Idk what to do I just ordered an fp red and this happens .

Any info or help will be really useful.

I smelled fuel so I assume I'm getting fuel.
I checked all pipings and couplers for a leak and tightened everything down and still nothing.
I assumed it was because it was cold out but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have started in the first place.
I will be checking spark plugs next.
I just hope its nothing serious because I just blew most my money on a turbo lol. Fml

Sounds like you need to go get a tune. What was your previous turbo prior to the red?

Is your car in storage? If so, you might need to reset the ecu and let the car idle for 15 mins before driving.

I'm on stock turbo right now tuned at 27psi my car use to run really rich before this was happening. My car was in storage for like 2-3days the time before that it was driving and starting up fine. I killed the battery from cranking it to many times so I replaced the battery and it still doesn't wanna stay on it starts and idles at 200-300 rpms for 5-10seconds before it dies.
