Setting up the fuel system on a twin turbo is vastly different from a stock Delorean. You should contact the vender you got the turbos from or one of the Delorean venders. They have experience with them and can talk you through. You can start with enriching the idle mixture by turning the air-fuel mixture screw under the tamperproof plug. Since there is no accelerater pump to overcome the initial leaning till the turbos kick in the idle mixture needs to be richer than normal. Any vacuum leaks will also hurt as they tend to lean the air-fuel ratio. Plug off the vacuum line going to the trans modulater. Make sure after adjusting the mixture screw there is a plug in the housing or you will have a BIG vacuum leak.
