Side note: car does have a small 16g with no tune or anything this is how I bought the car. It also has an aftermarket BOV and an AFPR which is reading 43psi as it should

Finally got my 95 GSX drivable today and well it didn’t do so well. Car idles between 1200 and 1500, before it was at 2500 due to the stop screw keeping the throttle plate open. So first thing I noticed was the boost gauge while driving at any rpm was at the 3rd line rpm the bottom (stock boost gauge) and the car didn’t seem to wanna “go” gave it some gas and it was almost like I didn’t. And when coming to stoped the car would idle at a couple hundred rpm like 200-400. Even if I let off the gas while driving the idle would drop below maybe 900 and go back up. Can anyone help me figure out what’s going on? I tried to give the best info I can here.
 
Well I'm the 1g old man and my 2g son is working so I can't answer but if another member has a 2g, look at this connector.
My 1g is black and on the fire wall with a male terminal sunk down and surrounded by the connector plastic so you cant accidentally ground it.

Was just about to post I verified it is the ground but there is two flat pins inside, idk which one to ground and do I ground when car is on or off?
 
I think you can ground either one. Just warm the car up t operating temp then ground it. I would take your j-pipe off and put a new gasket with grey rtv sealant. I bet it won't leak after that.

Yeah I’ll do that tomorrow most likely or whenever I can get a gasket for it. I thank all of you for your guys help. I can’t believe how much my car has changed just because of this thread alone the car is driveable now. After new plugs and wires and a few other little things the car will be nice again
 
Stick shift is "supposed" to be 38.5. Most still run 43.5
