Intermittent miss up to 2k and idle when warm NA-T

I agree with your plan to temporarily put it back to n/a to troubleshoot.

As a test, could you remove the turbo intake and put the oem distributor cap back on? As long as you don't run the car in a dust storm and you don't have frozen chickens falling from the sky nearby, running the turbo wide open to atmosphere isn't all that risky.

Lastly, have you *pressurized* the intake yet? You do n/a vacuum testing with spray (or smoke), but pressurizing the intake (with an air compressor, for example) is what's needed for a turbocharged intake system. It should be able to hold about 50psi cold. Clamp your air hose adapter in there tight or it will turn into a cannon. (amhik)

About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information?
