Have you ran the codes on the ECU yet? If not, and you don't know how, you can DL the FSM via the stickies at the top of the forum.

AFM too close to turbo? Venting BOV? Check PCV valve and hose. Check fast solenoid for proper operation. It's just too many things to list that can be your problem. Start with some of these and see what happens.

the BOV is plumbed back to intake between teh turbo and AFM. the AFM is about a foot and a half from the turbo.

Did you try pulling any codes from the ECU?
