Default Turbo Problems

I just bought this Acura el 1.7 L with a turbo specialites D17 kit on it. I set all the settings for timing back to what the manual said because they were set way to high. Now it is running to lean. Does anyone have any advice with these kits?

not sure, what was wrong with the settings before, and did you rest them electronically , like with a piggy back system, or manually with cam sprockets?

When I bought the car it was running way to rich before and it had misfires in all cylinders. Trying to fix this...
Went into my manual and set the electronic fuel settings with the supplied injector interface for the icu. Looking to see if anyone has advice on what settings for fuel i should use

have you called any manufacturers, if you set it to the stock settings and still are having problems, it might be a problem with the product. its a good place to start anyway.

couple of questions for you :

1. is the MAP box hooked up?
2. is the tuner box hooked up?
3. if the answer to 2 is yes, can you tell me what the ratio reads on the TSI box when you step on the gas?
