Well I looked at the EGR and that looked good. Doesn't the EGR pop a CEL anyways?

Any other options guys?

Thanks

Did you do a boost leak test yet? Do that and report back...

Problem solved! Turned out it was a fix that costs pennies. I have a Tial BOV installed and the cap that I used to plug the stock location on the intake pipe had a major major hole in it. I replaced the plug and it idles like butter now!! Man I was starting to hate driving my car too

Thanks for all the suggestions guys...I still think I need to do a boost leak test though. It'd be a good thing to do next.

Is there any solid piece that someone has designed to fit over that or is it more of a DIY kinda deal?

Thanks again!
