Well I finally got my jdm front on and I got to drive the car around. And I cant get it to go above 2k rpms. It starts jerking really bad. The car does not idle. Im gonna check for boost leaks today. But I need some other ideas cuz I dont really think its a boost leak. I think it might be the maf but not sure.

Also I cant sit still and rev the motor past 2k grand. I need some ideas what it could be. Thanks.

I had the same problem. I dont know which it was that fixed it, but I adjusted my TPS mine was only reading half what it was supposed to. Make sure all intercooler fittings are flush and as tight as possible, I had the pinouts backwards on my MAFS. I hope this helps man... And yay for working on cars when its cold!

check maf and o2 sensor boost leak would create smoke! unburt fuel pouring out the tail pipe.try wide open throttle if it works then its definatly the maf.i had this problem but when i took off ( gangsta style) no problems assuming at wide open throttle the ecu is on a map and just dumps fuel anyway. a ka24e maf can replace the sr one.
