Question hard time to start

I recently fully upgraded my fd to a single gt35 turbo. It takes about 5 to ten minutes of off and on cranking before it starts slowly...then once its warmed, it starts easily. I have a 255 walbro fuel pump. 550 primaries and 850 secondaries.
sometimes i have to unflood the spark plugs.....
Does this have to do with compression? need help?

thanks

Your only running 850's for your secondaries??? You must have ***** of steel!! Upgrade those secondaries ASAP!!! And ya what are you running for ecu. You might of fouled your plugs. Take them out and check them.

If it had low compression it would be a bitch to start when warm, so that is good :-D
Linky injector's are way more $ than an engine.
