Car not idling?

[sway2this]

I have a question about a 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX that I'm thinking about buying. The guy that I'm buying it from says that the car won't idle right now. He says that an Apexi AFC will cure this. Is this true?

Here are the mods for the car:
- T3T4 turbo
- 2G ported manifold
- External waste gate
- 1G BOV vented
- 3000 GT fuel pump
- Ported & Polished head
- ACT 2600lb clutch
- Sidanza Aluminum light weight fly wheel
- Greddy turbo timer

So do you think an AFC will cut the idling problem or am I getting told BS?

- 1G BOV vented

Do some reading, it seems like this comes up every day... Sorry I guess since you're looking at buying it you're new to DSMs, but the owner disconnected the Blowoff valve to try and sell the car easier with the "rice" factor. These cars need to be recirculated.

Did he upgrade the injectors? If so, then yes the AFC should work.

tell him that the car shouldnt be idling like that and talk him down a couple hundred bucks(saying that it will cost some more money to fix) and go buy a recirculated BOV

Well im translating for my boyfriend cuz he works offshore.
this car does idle but it idles rough.
the guy is giving me some brand new 660 cc injectors but the stock injectors are in the car right now. i talked the guy down to 2000 dollars so i dont think he is gonna go much lower than that. i was gonna get a new blow off valve and recirculate it. so the recirculated bov. so should the recirculated bov cure the problem?

venting the bov to the atmosphere will not mess up your idle. it will mess up the idle after it releases the boost. it will only make it stumble when you let off the throttle after a hard run. i would assume an safc will help the problem only if the fuel system has been pumped up. if you have adjusted pressure or bigger injectors, then an safc will help indefinitely.
