so the car is sputtering at idle, i think it might be the timming. I know its not the injectors because i just had them cleaned and it was doing this with my stock injectors.
Also the car is running way lean at idle also, 14.x-15.x i try to adjust it with the SAFC but doesnt really make much of a diff. It started to idle leaner* after i installed the 550cc ROM into the VPC...i think i had more control with the 440rom.
Under boost the car goes rich so im guessing thats good. I'll try to take some video of the car idling.

Any helpful info. will be appreciated.

Thanks,
-emp.

What kind of throttle body do you have on that. Maybe you need to adjust your TPS. It does sound like ignition related but I would rule out the TPS first since that could throw off your idle big time.

Hey man, I just switched turbo setups and my car can barely idle, and keeps stalling because I'm running so rich. Its the only thing I've changed. Try monitoring your Vf's to see whats going on. I cut some fuel and it definately helped. Just a thought.

Thing is i was running like this with the old injectors and stock fuel. i've tried leaning it out some with the afc but like i said before its barely, if any, doing anything.

does it run fine under load?
did u presurize the system to rule out boost leaks?

I dont thing boost leaks would make ur car sputter like that on idle. from the video though, it sounds like u got a mad vac/exhaust leak
