I just finished my KAT and have been driving it around for the past day, and recently it has developed a cough when the accelerator is depressed just slightly. It drops in RPM, but it picks up when I give it more gas, and Im trying not to spool turbo too much at this point.

any ideas what may be causing it?

ThanksSteve

is it dropping after you accelerate and then let off the throttle or put it in neutral? mine was dieing when i would accelerate and push in the clutch or put it in neutral and let off the gas. i fixed it by angling my bov recirculating hose more towards the turbo. you can also try bumping up your idle, i heard that will help too.

my idle is pretty high, its going at 1000-1200, then when I depress gas slightly and let out clutch it drops to 500 or so, and gets rough. then it will pick up again after Im moving.also sometimes just in neutral it will do it, then rev to 2500 after holding it slgihtly depressed for a second.

even while driving under little throttle, it stutters

Make sure there are no vacuum and intake leaks. Check and double check everything.
