Welp, I gave up. I can't get the car to idle and I'd have to try to drive it 10 hours tomorrow to make it to the Factory MOD event this weekend. Yeah... definitely going to miss that deadline. So I'm just going to pull it into the garage and try to tinker around with it next week or something. Maybe order some brand new injectors, MAF, and a Keydiver chip or possibly even DSM-Link. Hopefully the problem isn't mechanical and in the engine.

Anyway, I drove it to the gas station and back. Stalled out on every light; I guess I need to work on my heel-toe technique. It seem it was only firing on 3 cylinders. I have no idea why. I fouled up 2 sets of spark plugs, maybe 3, which isn't helping my idle issues AT ALL. Oh well, given up for the weekend.

Here are some pictures. The black and white make it look kind of sinister:




And a video of me trying to get the damn thing to idle and smooth out.

I probably should have changed the video to say "with stutterbox." Modifications list is at the top, but it's a SBR-GT14 turbo. I believe it's basically a 56-trim with smaller exhaust housing or something to that effect. For a "drag only" turbo it does seem to spool pretty easily even just revving it with no load and only using the wastegate spring pressure.
