SPORADIC I have sparatic idle, sparatic misfire that throws a CEL, and sparatic fuel or boost cut...not too sure which it is or if it is even one of those things. Well anyways, I need to know where i can get a vaccum hose kit for my car. It is a 95 Talon TSI AWD. I have seen this vaccum hose kit before...just not sure where. Then I need to know how I can stop the sparatic misfire, and the sparatic boost/fuel cut. I am hoping the sparatic idle is just a bad vaccum line or something. I am probably going to try and get the egr block off plate, some people said that might help the sparatic idle and "cold" start. But the boost/fuel cut....it only occurs when i am really getting in it....and its in higher rpms and boost level. The car starts to studder very slightly as a "warning" to me to let me know it will happen and I need to let off...but if i stay in it, it will lose its ass completely, sometimes worse that others. Sometimes its a jolt, and then sometimes the car just doesnt want to keep pulling boost. So I dont know. I am in a bind, do not know what to do. Just trying things as they go. I already cleaned the throttle body and throttle position sensor.
So anyways, I need help. Whatever information anyone can give me is appreciated. Thanks.

Just in case: My mods are, 92 6 bolt swap, (because of the swap someone said i am getting sparatic misfire because of the cam angle sensor or something), Dejon Tool upper and lower intercooler pipeing, with the J-pipe on a 14b turbo. Turbo XS blow off valve. Dejon Tool intake, with the recirc. tube blocked off.
 
well, blocking off that recirculating tube is one thing thats probly making your car run and shift like shit, might just be some shit like a fuel filter or something, get a walbro and rewire it, should help alittle if i under stand your prob corectly... i dont know, best thing to do is get on the internet and learn from other peoples problems before u start having them,, good luck
 
Mah Bad. SPORADIC Everything. Well I cant vent back to the intake, because its the Turbo XS RFL, with the trumpet horn front on it. Meant to vent to the air....So that means i must find other means to correct the imperfections. So once again, back to square one....let me know what else i can do. I never had these problems with my GST venter the same setup to the air. I had the same exact setup and all I did was run a little rich without a AFR so i figured i would do it to the GSX/TSI.
 
Do you think installing my AFR, a new fuel pump, and new fuel filter will help with the possible fuel/boost cut? And someone said that the cam angle sensor does not agree with my computer or wiring harness on the account of me having a 92 motor in a 95 car???? I dont know. The sporadic idle is not a biggy, I am pretty sure its some vaccum hoses and the block plate and i can take care of that. My main focus is fuel/boost cut, and the sporadic misfire.

And not meant for a DSM with a stock MAF. Your best route would be to get a 1G BOV and recirc. Otherwise, you may be chasing demons 'till the cows come home.... if they do.

Some specific DSMs vent with slight bothers. Some won't.
 
Quit beating around the ####ing bush and buy a damn BOV that can recirc. FFS guys this information has been available for YEARS and STILL you buy a BOV that WILL cause problems with the stock MAS.

Help yourselves, people.
