Default Engine not getting air

So i finally have everything installed, but now when i start it on a basemap, or on a bin from xenocron's depository all it does is barely run. "Idles" around 200rpms, the coupler attached to the throttle body physically gets sucked down.

If I unhook a coupler, everything runs perfectly as the engine starts sucking in air. Idles perfectly and the coupler on the throttle body goes back to normal.

When it's idling at 200rpms the vac gauge reads about 19.

Anybody know why it wont get air with everything all hooked up? I'm losing my mind here.

i know my intercooler came with plugs to cover the openings.

maybe you didnt see them or forgot to take them off?

if thats not it, man it cant be to hard to find. follow the path of air from the turbo inlet all the way to the throttle body, what you cant blow through is blocking your air.. compressed air would help.

good luck
