car had really bad idle and hesitiation.... wouldnt run till it hit boost.... so i figured vacum leak... i repalced everything all my couplers ... everything... every little line i could find... also put my td04 on because my vf11 shit the bed... u can hear and see the shaft play..... now car has same idle problem.... but heres were is stupid... if i push it from 2 grand it spools quicker then the vf11 im at 7 lbs by 2800.... but when it his 3 grand it cuts... completly dies foot to the floor an the car wont run let alone go forward.... but i cna take it to redline as long as i rev it with the clutch in or dont take it into boost... last time it was alt wires so i redid them an still nothing... the purge thingy is plugged in an all the lines going to it seem to be right... and tight... no CEL's... i tested the alt t read 13.9 with the lights and guages turned on and head unit running...

well here is ... car runs great... it will boost great ntil it hits around 3 thousand rpm it depends on ther gear.... then even with ur foot to the floor its just like u hit a rev limiter....

if you just ease the gas u can redline the car as long as u dont use the trubo.....

so... new maff.... and new red thing that was on strut tower... (purge valve i think)... well the maf fixed the idle... so heres what im left with... car will make boost... ( i took mbc off and am runnign stock setup minus frnt mount)... makes 7 lbs then cuts at around 3.... if i feather the gas an dont use the turbo i can get redline... oh and no CEL but i put the green clips together and got a 32 and a 12 but the 32 comes an goes usually just flashs the CEL on once a week because of the idle and after market DP then when u take off in forst the CEL always goes out around 2500....
