I have had to play with a few idle tables and steps to prevent my car from dying coming to a redlight. Also may need to adjust ignition timing in those areas of the map. Are you tuning yourself or do you have a tuner you use?

I have a tuner locally who does it for me, who adjusted it the best he could.

My solution was probably to go with an electric power steering to prevent any more issues. Just trying to research what pump I need, connections, and power source

I have the same turbo and cams so confused why your tuner couldn't correct the issue.

There is a little blue wire that comes off the power steering pump that steps up idle whenever you turn the wheel. Is it still connected? I don't think it's a game changer, but I would start there.

You have a problem somewhere, no one ever just runs electric power steering for reasons like that.

Either tune related, or vaccum. Is it going lean?

What's the AFR and RPM at idle?

Decided to try the blue wire it looked connected so when I turn the wheel the rpms drop near the 500’s and the car will try to run

pulled the blue wire and the same-thing happened.

my guess its the connection somewhere in the car

I had the same issue, i adjusted timing and BISS screw (due to idle issues). I also checked changed values in the ISCV to make sure the idle was compensating for higher load when wheel is full locked.

Which table did you adjust and what ROM ID are you running?
