please dont give out misinformation. Plugs need to be gapped lower on boosted setups period. If the gap is too wide and the air is too dense then the spark cant bridge the gap unless the ignition is strong enough. .028 is perfectly fine.

pull the plug wires out and crank the car over while holding the plug wires near a screwdriver or something so you can see if there is spark.

If you have an FMU and 310cc injectors, of course it's running rich. The FMU can only add fuel, not restrict fuel, and the injectors are bigger than stock with no way to scale them back correctly until you need something that big. Why did you get a Walbro pump for only 7 PSI?

I'm guessing the car won't start because there is a lot of unburned gas in there. Pull your plug wires off, and disconnect your injector connectors so you're not adding any more fuel, then check if you have spark. Then reconnect the spark plugs and crank a tiny bit to burn the unburnt gas, keeping the injectors unconnected.

If you find there is nothing wrong with the ignition, it's all down to too much fuel.
You really need some way to scale the injector duty cycle back, like getting the ECU chipped/tuned properly or getting a AFC. You could get rid of the FMU if you got a AFC, FMUs are a really crappy solution to fuel management. The 310cc injectors should be big enough for 7 PSI, so get rid of the FMU (sell it to someone you don't like), get an AFC, and get tuned.

All of this assumes that you're just running way to rich, and don't have any other problems. I'm assuming that you don't have any sensor CELs and everything is wired up and working properly, including your coil, etc.

take it to a shop and let someone that knows your setup fix it the right way.
