Could possibly be that pesky Idle air flapper valve on the throttle body. Mine was leaking really bad. I just sealed it with some RTV Grey. At the same time I replaced my shaft seals as well, since they had a horrible leak too.



You already did a pressure test?

So after tonight, I've decided to re-evaluate my priorities ... I'll stick with the stock turbo for now and get some good tires

Street tires: hankook rs3, or azenis615
I can't seem to find a 17 inch drag radial under 275, anyone know of any?

your not looking hard enough. Hoosier Quick time pros is what i would go for if i had 200. to spend on each tire. 245-45-17 FTW. also theres nitto 555r and bfg drag radials. all of these options cost some good money though. good luck on the search
