you might want to check your timing and check for vaccum leaks

mine does the same thing. but after about 5/10 mins of driving its back to a very steady 800... i'm stumped too. could it be the IACV?

mine does it too, check boost leaks. one of my couplers was on the verge of breaking till i did a 0-80 sprint merging onto the highway, then it fully broke.

im looking to buy a boost leak detector, goes on where u normally bolt the turbo and then u jack it full of compressed air. looks like a good idea to me.

the thing is after it warms up and i start to drive it for like 10 min 15 min it goes away then everything is straight.

the couplers would expand once the engine warms up thus eliminating the leak... but it returns once the couplers cool and retract. makes lots of sense, thanks guys
