Default whats your base settings for initial start up?

i have a turbo bp using miata 1.6 cas sensor, 1.6 coil and igniters. im using turbo coupe 370cc injectors with a resistor pack. i copied my buddies tune from his megasquirted miata but its not working, it keeps backfiring like a shotgun and not starting. we got it to idle but it only idles for maybe 45sec then stops running and wont restart. if you try to give it gas while its idling it instantly dies...

ive checked for vacuum leaks and found none.

MAP sensor settings are wrong. You can't just copy maps and expect it to work.

JT, this is Vlad.
I'll try to make some time tomorrow and stop by and see if I can help, but I think Andrew is right: all your calibrations are fucked and you need to start fresh instead of using Seans map
