What is wrong with my car

[dsmpokolm]

When I start up my car when the engine is cold it will just die. Try a second time and it will start up normal. When I put it in gear and go to drive off it almost bogs. I will have my pedal to the floor and it will just bog until it hits about 3000rpm then takes off. Once the engine warms up the car will run fine. I have no idea. My boost gauge vacuum reads 25 is this normal?

Check your plugs.

I tried to look at your vehicle profile and I see what looks like a GT30 or 35 turbo in the pics. Did you just slap on a big turbo and hope for high HP#'s
If you are at this stage of modding you should know how to trouble shoot more.

plugs, wires, timing, injectors maybe?

if you did all that work to your car yourself, i agree.
you need to learn howto trouble shoot

I will definately check those things. I didnt do any of the upgrades myself. A speed shop did them for me. They dont really know what they are doing though. What would I check with the injectors? They are not leaking. They spark plug wires are brand new. How would I check timing. Can you check timing with dsmlink? Will have to pull out the plugs and take a look.
My throttle cable is shit too. When the car is cold the throttle cable is loose (normal) but when it starts to get hot it gets really tight and is stopping the throttle body from hitting the adjustment screw. Do I need a new cable?
My boost gauge vaccuum reads 25hg at idle, is that normal?

That sounds kind of high for vacuum, good but high.
Fill out your vehicle profile.
I need more information as to what is all installed onto your car.

That turbo in the picture is not an evo 3 16G

if the injectors arent leaking assume they're fine. check timing? get a light and hook it up and use it accordingly. or go inside the timing cover and check that all cam, and other marks line up accordingly. if you have any doubt about your throttle cable, i would replace it. probably a good time to get a non cruise control one if you have a cruise one while your in there
