Sad truck running ruff

Recently i have bought some injectors from SDX stage 3 (140hp) And i finally got them in over the weekend. first time i fired up the truck, the idle was real rough like at 2000RPM, and you had to keep your foot on it to keep the truck a running. There was a heavy haze at the tail time.Took it out the road and they felt like stock injectors starting out, but once the engine got alittle warm they performed alittle better. Got to alittle straight strech and just layed on it. Roughly going from 40-45mph to 60-63mph within 130yards (which i think, it can be better) The next day, jump in the truck and started it and the idle was the same at 2000RPM real rough and there was a haze.And they still drove like stock injectors until the engine warmed up alittle. With my stock injectors it started at 7000RPM and alittle rough. Am i doing something wrong or does it sound like the injectors are defective. Im not disen SDX, but if i pay alot of money for something. I want it to run properly.

7000 rpm? im guessing you mean 700? and 200? clear that up for me. do you have the fuel and air to back it up? you can put stage 3's on a stock fuel system and stock turbo but it wont be good.

i'm waitin for scott or ......... oh what the hell is his name...Luke to chime in but from what i've seen when looking for injectors for my truck you do not have the air to back it up. i think stage 2's say they're for if you're planning on upgrading your turbo in the future so i'd say stage 3's want a new turbo
