I think Jessie is spot on about an unmetered air leak check inlet hose to turbo and outlet hoses also. My B21FT will stall if I even loosen a hose clamp.
Also check where connections to hard intake pipe are made. After I repalaced my turbo and harness I had a no start until I either wrapped the hard metal hose w/ duct tape or had an air tight connection w/ the pcv hose.

One more thing short of taking injectors out, pull the mixture plug on the fuel distributor and take something small like and ice pick and gently push down on the mixture screw--this might get something unstuck. You might also, if you have the long 3 mm mixture tool richen the mixture 1/8 of a turn clockwise.


Just a few thoughts.
