Default trouble after fitting new turbo

hi all. just fitted injectors, spark plugs, sti top mount and a vf43 turbo to my 2001 bug wrx. starts great, ticks over perfect. I drove down the road just to warm so could do an oil change. once was warm I went to let the boost just cut in but the car judders and wont boost rite. I checked everything again but seems good. the only thing I could think of is the pipes going to turbo from 3 port. the turbo had a pipe from actuator and from housing t pieced. I took this off and put from 3 port like was on my td04. is that where the problem is ? has anyone else had this problem? cheers in advance for your help.

hi, its mapped for td04 and other mods. would that be why it wont spool? I don't know, I have never been in this situation. dunce is mapping it 2morrow again for what I have put on, I thought that the car would just run lean or whatever before the map? cheers

wanted to make sure it wasn't anything else that someone had done before. other wise if I let Duncan come out would be a wasted journey. if its just cos needs mapping then its good, otherwise I need to sort something else.

That will be the last of your worries mate, Its got a turbo and injectors fitted that the ECU doesnt know how to control at the moment if its not mapped
