They towed it to my house when I was gone. At some point I have to get in there and pay the guy. A little unhappy with it though. it's all one piece, so it can't be removed without being cut, or lifted 20 feet in the air.. The sound is alright, but I only heard it run for like 20 seconds. Still need to take care of the wastegate crap.
I was going to pull the plugs to see if they were soaked with fuel, and the stupid tube seals are apparently bad. Cylinders are filled with oil now.
Meh. Unhappy.

I haven't even seen it today lol. I have it parked in my shop, just woke up, dressed and left home. Probably going to get my VC gasket changed tomorrow and dry out my cylinders a bit. (Bad tube seals, filled them with oil.)
I think I like you, just because you're the only one who reads my build thread.

I got the VC back on. Installed new seals on the wastegate.
I ordered the valve seat I needed for the waste gate, it was $25 shipped. I was looking for a box to pack my pistons in and I picked up my wastegate box, guess what was inside? Yes.. the damn valve seal thingy.. sent the place an email to try to cancel my order before the seal shipped..
Anyways. The car is running, it's running a little.. "odd" but I will get it figured out later. I took it down the street a few times. It has a lot more "ooompth" lol.
I'll update when I get it running how I like.

Well it's boosted.
Current problems:
It still idles funny. It's got that up and down idle thing as if I had a vacuum leak.. but instead of jumping from say 1100 to 1300 rpm's, it's going from like 1100 to 1150. It's just the most minuscule surge. Can't figure out whats up with that..
I also noticed when I barely touch the throttle, it jumps up a bunch. Say I want to go from 1100 to 1200, I baaaaaaaarely put the most tiniest amount of pressure on the pedal and it goes from 1100 up to like 1400. It makes driving at slow speeds impossible. My IACV plug is messed up, so it won't stay attached to the IACV. It has fallen off twice now making the idle go all loopy. I just went out and put RTV on the IACV to hold the plug on.
Anyways.. anyone have some suggestions on my issues? Going to Google it now and see what I come up with. Didn't have any problems before the turbo went on.
Thanks for reading kids, i'll keep you posted.

Next to none.
So I bled out the coolant hoping that would help, and it didn't.
If I give the throttle a little blip it jumps up real high, kind of bounces at the top of the rev, then it goes down, then back to the original position.
For example:
Idling at 1100.
Barely touch throttle.
Jumps to 1500.
Then goes to like 1550 immediately. (As if I feathered the throttle.)
Drops down to say 700rpms, then stumbles back up to 1100 or so.
These arn't the exact numbers.. just an example.

Here is a video of my idle issue. It's holding idle, barely moving at all- then I barely tap the throttle and it goes nuts. Everything from going from idle then back to idle is all on it's own, i'm not messing with the throttle. After I let off it bumps up a little and drops down below the original idle then goes back to idle..
I also found out that when I accelerate slowly it will boost normally and have lots of power but if I floor it, it bogs down. I believe it is flooding it when I hit the throttle hard. Any way to fix this before the dyno tune, or is that my only option? I'm kind of tempted to swap out my waste gate spring and run more boost to compensate for the extra fuel not being burned.
Any suggestions?
