You need to document any and all modifications to the car so people have an idea of where to start. Otherwise this could take forever.
 
Don't worry everybody learns.

Sounds to me like you are experiencing idle surge. A flunctuation of RPM's. I could sit here and explain it to you, or you could just read through this and get it all at one time: Terry's Talon Troubleshooting Tips #3 - Fast Idle (aka. Idle Surge).

Also, perform a boost leak test. You could be having symptoms of a boost leak as well. If you are unsure on how to perform one, just search it. There is plenty of information on it.

If you are unsure of what is done to your vehicle, try posting a picture of your engine bay on here for us. A lot of the time we can pick out what is done ;) Good luck.
