I would go over the timing again. Guess you have no idea what vac it is pulling at idle since you can't even get it to idle, correct? How about fuel pressure? Sure you only ONE boost leak to fix? :}

Well i have it idling at 1600-2000 rpms right now and i been driving it for a while and havent noticed a boost leak at all. Is the vac pressure on evo data log. Im not too mechanically inclined lol.

Why do you have it idling at 1800rpms? When you say manual did you just turn the biss screw to raise it or did you use evoscan? Are you on stock cams or aftermarket? What is your ignition timing from 500-2000 rpms? The more information the better.

I loosened the throttle plate so it would idle its my only car right now. If I move the plate lower it wont idle at all. Heres my evo scan pics off my computer and yes it has a cam i have a guy trying to unlock the tune that was on it to see if he can figure something out but its been three weeks. I know its a little blury hopefully you can read it. If not i could message you my number and u could help me figure this crap out its annoying lol MG]http://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.evolutionm.net-vbulletin/2000x1504/80-20150515_204635_55c1943f65c7c105ae98e6703cd64127b6 585656.jpg[/IMG]

Well the problem is i was wanting to fix the idle before i tried tuning it. But on my way to work. I think my turbo is on its last limb or wastegate is ****ed... i went to get on interstate 44 and punched it and all i heard was the turbo letting air pass and the psi went crazy.

Well as you probably know. Ive been dealing with this problem since December... and i been tryin to find a place to take it or someone to help me fix It. I replaced the two sensors myself and tested two others. And i boost leak tested it two months ago and probably need to do it again but now randomly it wont even hit boost it kinda sounds like boost lag but louder. Like its spitting air out? Idk.
