Update: on flooding issue

Okay after giving up for a week. i went back at it yesterday. after unflooding it and cranking it this time. It turned over and instead of letting it idle by itself i held my foot on the gas to about 2,500 rpm. Tons of white smoke poured out the back (brand new motor pretty much has about 1.5 miles on it). I revved it to 3,000 and held it there to try and burn the stuff out of there. It stayed on like this for about 2-3 minutes and it just shut off, just died. didnt bog down and die this time, just shut off. I think its cause i was totally out of gas cause the gas gauge was below the E and ive flooded it quite a number of times now.

It was SOOO LOUD. straight 3" no cats or resonators, and an N1 exhaust. loud enough to wake up people 4 houses down. My friend said cause its a fresh motor. So...will the sound get a little quieter once its broken in? It was smooth at 3,000 but it just sounded like i was dumpping the exhaust right onto the ground after the turbo or something. Or like it had a crazy port job. just loud BRAWP, BRAWP, BRAWP, BRAWP, BRAWP, BRAWP, BRAWP, BRAWP, BRAWP, BRAWP
Still music to the ears after this long journey tho

So i went out and bought 2 gallons of gas and put it in and try to crank the car over and it was flooded again. I took out the FPR last night and bought an after market SARD adjustable, one with a gauge so i will be installing that in the next couple of days.

Any Input anyone?
