As you have found the stock ECU will at least start your single turbo but the fact that it didn\'t fry it indicates logically indicates a fault with the Apexi also I know how patiently you checked out the loom,

sounds like the injector driver is fried, you may be able to just replace the driver if the board has not been toasted.
