so everything is now in and we had the luck to have one good pull b/f this issue arised. first off, im running 370cc SR injectors that were cleaned and flow tested as well 300zx tt fuel pump. While tuning for boost, we ended up blowing off the IAA hose as well as forgetting to plug back the TPS sensor when adjusting the timing. We hooked those back up, did a compression test and the car started running bad. It wont idle for anything. When u immediately start up the car, it sounds fine but then two seconds later, the revs drop and it wont idle. I have to keep the revs at 2K or higher to stop the car from not stalling. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated to fix this problem

I don't like the sound of that IACV hose blowing off. It may have destroyed the unit.

took the car tonite to my mechanic and he suspects that the blowing off of the IACV may have destroyed the MAF. he's gonna locate another one on monday and ill try it out then unless this other guy that i see tomorrow has an extra lying around.

i also found out that i have a nasty exhaust leak between the mani and turbo lol. I guess i gotten see if i can tighten those bolts down more. They arent loose but i did see the leak coming from there.

Bump for more suggestions/opinions
