Sounds like a huge boost leak. I'd do a leak check and then chime back in with results.

well i might sound dumb ass hell bro but how should i go round doing dat bro??
just wanna get this car running good cause everyone seems to talk bad bout dsms and ma friends told me not to get the car but i like it u know
 

1. Its not a DSM
2. Check out the VFAQ site. Tom has TONS of good stuff on there on how to troubleshoot issues:
VFAQ.com
Like this link on how to build an intake leak tester:

Are you getting a Check Engine Light? The first thing you should get is a good logging system, so you can see what the ECU is seeing. It helps troubleshoot these types of problems quite a bit. The high idle could just be the BISS being misadjusted:
BISS Adjustment
Or it could be that the idle closed switch on the back of the throttlebody isn't working.
Does the car have mods? We would need to know what mods it has, as they might be causing the problem.

yeah i do but again i have no idea how to use it i got the pocket loger and a cd with tha software but i cant open any of the files on it...
 

Is the chip setup for the 2G MAS and the 680cc injectors? Are you running the base fuel pressure called for with the chip? Does the fuel pressure drop 7-9 psi when you connect the vacuum line to the AFPR?
Did you buy the Pocketlogger from pocketlogger.com? If so, you can download it again here:
