reason to post is that - you may have flooded the compressor with oil if you didnt remove the sump bolt (and if your supplier put some oil in there), this creates a problem with these units - the volume metering device on the suction plate of the compressor will stall and you wont get any pumping even with full 1000 grams charge.
I hope you bought the updated type compressor, its got a smaller volume metering valve and is named as Denso 7SBU16C. The original ones 7SB16C have a design fault where one suction reed fractures from its base plate and siezes the unit

I bought a GPD 6511631 (Chinese Denso 7SBU16C clone) from the rock. I wonder if this shipped dry, I turned it over every which way and rotated it. I did not hear any sound of oil moving around or slurping sounds out of the ports. I would think that if there was 100 ml oil in it that at least something would have come out the ports when I did this. Also the rubber shipping plugs were dry on the inside.
There was no instruction sheet, only a sheet that told me that if the original compressor grenaded then I needed to replace the entire system since the condenser and evaporator are parallel flow designs and can not be flushed. But I already knew that...
