I need some tech help! 2006 Mustang GT

I have a 2006 mustang GT that I recently installed a turbonetics full kit on. Since installation I have had a problem starting vehical. I am an automotive technician at a dealership. I believe this is an issue with the tune that was loaded on the SCT tuner. The vehical will only start if I put the pedal to the floor on start up. It appears to be flooding out. If my tune feed less fuel when the engine was cold I don't think this would be a problem, because once the engine is warmed up it runs like a stripped $&* ape. Is this a problem that others have had? And if so, what do I need to do to fix it. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't heard of this from any other Mustang guys but I'll ask around and see what I can come up with for you.

I am in contact with a local dyno shop that has seen this problem and assures me that they have a new tune that can fix it. They are going to dyno tune the car and install an extra fuel pump for $650. I am leaving the car with them while I'm out of town next week and I should have it straightened out and back on the road in two weeks. Thanks for your help. If there are any other mustang turbo guys out there, I would like to hear from them just to swap stories of their cars.

I have a 2007 mustang with the kit on it and it is running rich as well, not so rich that its a huge problem but enough to be frustrating. Talked to a local tunning shop and they said some of the mass air flow meters are more sensitive then others. Been on the phone with Reggie a few times and they are working on a fix. Other than running a touch rich the car runs like a champ.
