ok, after several months of playing around and trying to figure out how it all goes. it is finally put together and will run on its own. with that said, i had the car running for about 30 seconds and when i give it gas so it does not die, due to old fuel going through the system, it makes a squeel and the reving is not fast or respond to me pushing the pedal. it takes a few seconds to recognize it needs to run quicker. what may cause this issue. the squeeking/ squeeling kind of noise is around by the turbo. any thoughts?
 
it makes a wierd sound around the intake manifold. i have to give the car little bit of gas to keep it from stalling but i did forget 2 bolts for the manifold. could that cause it to leak and make a high pitch sound?
 
A leak does make a high pitch sound. Our maf is before the turbo and the tb so a leak anywhere in between that would cause a misread and that's why you have to give it gas to keep it from stalling.

I would go to homedepot or lowes and buy two more bolts. Take one of the extra so you get the right one
 
soap and water? cause bubble to occur so i see the leak? i would def break something if i did that or just straight up burn the car to the ground. but i am going to be getting the bolts soon. i think my engine was stalling because my balance shaft belt broke and started wrapping around my timing belt. could that cause my engine to stall?
 
Soap and water really will not help to see the leak with the engine running due to no positive pressure being created at idle, only a vacuum. So you would be sucking in the soap and water more than anything. You can spray starting fluid around couplers and gaskets, if there's a vaccuum leak it will get sucked in and the engine will smoothen up the idle for a short period of time. That's not really recommended though either as too much starting fluid can cause engines to hydrolock. What you need to do is perform a boost leak test.

If your gas is a few months old it is probably bad. So drain it and put fresh gas in. Also fix the balance shaft belt ASAP before it takes out your timing belt.
