I have a SR swap with the mods listed below, but my idle is surging and when I open the throttle too quickly it my car sputters and just runs terribly rich. Is this due to a vac leak somewhere? I checked everything out, but from the wastegate actuator to my boost controller brain, the hose isn't clamped, could it be a leak there? Thanks

surging as 800rpm to 1-2k rpm then back to 800rpm? If that's so, check your coolant level inside your radiator.

Also might be a dirty IAC valve, try cleaning it.
