I changed my cylinder head and replace my turbo but after trying it to start. I noticed the sound is so strange? I checked the spark plugs, maf sensor and high tension wire. All of them are working.
It almost sounds like it has a cams
 
Double check the mechanical timing.
Will do, thank you

No vehicle profile, nothing to go on.
Do you have a cam sensor? Is it aligned at TDC?
Have you set ignition timing?
Is it even a DSM?

Yes sir its a dsm

Please fill out a profile so we know what the car has. The symptom you're describing has any number of causes and they can vary wildly depending on what you got going on under the hood.

Sorry will do

It has a 16g turbo and a hks gt pro actuator. Still running on stock boost no fuel mods.
 
Sounds like its out of time since that's where you were last at. Mechanical timing or very lean idle will both cause lumpy idle. I'd venture to guess timing is off a tooth.
