Ok I have tryed alot of stuff but can not figure out what is going on with my car.

1st My car often has somewhat of a Idle Surge when hot it will idle between 1000 and 2000, But that is on a rare ocassion. Also to add one day I heard in the back of my Intake Manifold a loud Air leak but I do not hear it anymore.

2nd at 1st my clutch was slipping so i replaced it the flywheel was fine it only had some heat exposure no cracks etc.. But sometimes when i give the car some gas the turbo kicks in the car goes but often it will not go and it sounds like the flywheel is just free spinning. I took the tranny back off and everything is fine.

I also replaced the Slave Cylinder and am in the process of replaceing the master. I adjusted the clutch it is a little stiffer now but I hardly have to engage the pedal for the clutch to engage.

Someone please let me know what might be the cause of these things. Im running out of ideas.
 
Ok to update I installed a Master Cylinder and the clutch got somewhat harder. But now often the clutch I hardly touch and it engages the clutch and the RPM revs at 2000 and just stays there. Im thinking Idle Surge but Would that mess with the clutch also?

Im lost someone please lemme know whats going on !!
 
if your clutch isnt engaging when your wanting it to then it just needs adjusted, it always needs readjusted when you change the fluid or cylinders. and your idle problem, well i would start with a boost leak test and then go from there.
