I finally got the chane to try and start my KA-T up today, and well it started right up idled at about 2500 rpms then sputtered and died. I think it may have something to do with my wastegate since there seems to be a lot of exhuast passing through it. But i'm not really sure. For my fuel I have 370cc injectors, walborro 255 fuel pump, and an Apex-i SAFC 2. I have the safc set at - 27% for idle. Anyway, I know it's a broad open question, but does anyone know what might be going wrong here? Sorry if I didn't post enough information, but if you need to know something else please let me know. Thanks.

The wastegate should have nothing to do with your idle.

Drift Machine -

I am having the same EXACT problem. No its not your wastegate. Could you tell me EXACTLY what you have done things you have plugged and unplugged settings you messed with in the SAFC. A list of everything you have removed and reinstalled would be helpfull.

I figured out what it was. I had a brain relapse and forgot to plug up a vaccum line.
