I just had a 2G engine swap and now my car barely idles, wont rev past 2-3000 rpm, and gets about 3 miles to the gallon what should i do?
 
did you put a 6 bolt in? what ecu are you running, what does your maf look like. CHECK FOR BOOST LEAKS. The problem sounds like to me that one of your intercooler pipes isnt fully connected.

Thats exactly what my evo did when it blew a connecter off the uicp. I just reconnected the pipe and it was all good.
 
ok got the idle up and now the turbo spools up to 15psi ((according to my autoMeter guage)) but feel no power gain. whats up??
