i just installed a 57 trim ct26, now my car jumps between 350-500 rmps until it stalls. ran flawlessly before the new turbo. any idea whats up? I have checked for vaccum leaks and boost leaks. dont know what else to check. I have searched with no luck :(

Any CEL light on? Just back track on your work, make sure all connections are back on tight including harness, o2, AFM.....IF everything was ok before the new turbo would not affect your idles/rpm.

I said they "look good" Not "i checked for leaks the correct way" haha

Obviously i made a mistake, something I'm sure you don't do.

well i still dont know what the point was, maybe im just dumb. But i was also only checking things that i removed or changed and the bov failing at this exact point was quite a coincedence(spelling?).
