im depressed and upset...
after installing my turbo...... everythign ran fine..
stupid me.. I had to go try to install my vafc.. I installed it... was pretty good... but when I adjusted my settings on my vafc.. i went for a ride around the block with half a tank... and my car started idling weird.. not wanting to push... smelled liek gas... ALOT!!! by the time i got close to my house I ran out of gas.... and car shut off... I went home got some more gas.. put it in.. car doesnt start... towed it home.. not i just finished towing it to the sop.. the guy says my engine isnt blown... he said it might just be congested with alot of fuel.. I hhope everything is alright.. and opinion or thoughts?
I had my vafc at around +3 +2 +1 +2 never over +4

I've had mine turned up like that, but nothing bad happened. Especially with a turbo, I don't know how more fuel can cause a problem. Our cars actually run rich from the factory. Are you using an fmu or something? Vafc won't be enough to work with the turbo by itself.

sounds like a fuel line/hose problem to me, especially if you smelled gas under the hood. check your fuel rail and hoses for leaks.
If I were you I would install the stock injectors and then run it. I know you probley already know but with out the emanage I wouldt be switching out injectors just yet. Also did you have a return fuel system set up?
