Ok,
overview,
1991 tsi awd jdm swap, MT swap.

boost wont pass 7 psi.
otherwise engine runs peachy.

idle surges from 750 - 3000 rpm
at cold it idles perfect, as the engine heats up, idle keeps going higher and higher.

datalogger wouldnt work with jdm ecu, so i swapped the american back in, idle was the same, boost was the same, datalogged shows everything good, no error codes.

i suspected the ISC, so i checked it, and it checked out, i even swapped the isc from the american throttle body over, and idle was exact same.

on the logger, the isc reads 0.
i suspected errors with the jdm ecu, so i used the american ecu, and everything was the same, idle, boost, everything.
I was told that since my car had gas in it, and sat for a few monthes, before i fixed it, and then i added gas to it, since the first gas into the engine was old, it started knocking bad, and the ecu pulled timing and limited boost to 7.

im lost here people.
my BOV flutters, when i let off the gas, i swapped bov's, and sound is the same.

-Have you try rerouting the coolant hoses that go into the throttle body to see any change.
 
Well, they are exactly like it was before, since i just pulled the engine from a clip, and dropped it in my talon.

is there a diagram on the proper position, like i may have mixed them up? and if so, why would it make a difference?

-The Talon Digest's search engine is broken, there're lot of info in it. this is the only thing I had found on the web.
 
I don't buy the "old gas" idea.

Any intake leaks, like around the BISS or throttle butterfly shaft?

I wonder if your BOV is kaput. If that flutter is also allowing a leak....

Maybe you frightened it with that Ninja stuff. Sure frightens me. eeek.
 
LOL ninja stuff.

eh, i swapped another bov and same noise, and same boost level.
I was reading and there is an ecu action, to limit boost to 7. if excessive knock is detected.

i dont know.
im pissed.
 
um..... my..... um.... there... was someone on my name... yes, thats it.......... what? you dont belive me!! FINE@

LOL....... der... im a retard
