Ok let me start out by telling you i havent done anything to the car besides getting tre to build my tranny and reinstaling it and a new clutch the previous owner did all the mods. Well the problems didnt start till after i got it built and and put it back in well my car is a 95 talon tsi awd with a 6 bolt with the following mods RC 550 Fuel Pump Hawn upper intercooler pipe Griffin front mount intercooler Custom forcedperformance lower pipes Poly motor mounts Greddy Type S BOV Ingen intake 16G Turbo RRE down pipe RRE test pipe Thermal 3 Inch cat back Apex AFC Greddy Turbo Timer Greddy Boost/EGT gauges Ported 2G exhaust manifold B&M Short throw shifter Welded center diff ACT 2600 ACT Street light flywheel 6 Bolt Swap Weisco 9:1 pistons Egale rods Balance shaft delet Balanced internals ARP head/main studs New front cover and oil pump i copied and paste cause im lazy but anyways the problems are that it will not idle at a cold start it dies everytime unless i hold down the gas. When it warms up it doesnt idle well and when im driving it it will sputter at a constant throttle and just lately when i give it full throttle it will sputter very bad its progressively getting worse! ive already replaced my plugs and plug wires and im thinkin its a leak or somthing of that sort in my intake! so if anyone can help i would really appreciate it! thanx oh if you need to know more just ask!
 
First thing you need to do is run a Boost Leak Test. Secondly, I would Test the ISC.
If all of this checks out okay, then I would try replacing the FIAV (Fast Idle Air Valve). However, your problem more than likely lies in the Boost Leaks, or the ISC.
 
well i was thinkin maybe a boost leak but it didnt have a problem at full throttle at first not until lately it would run better at wot but here in the past week it wouldnt it would bog down and sputter ill check the isc though! thanx
