Did you buy the car with the turbo installed or buy the car and then install a turbo? Have you gotten it tuned yet? Do you have a wideband sensor or have a gauge to verify your air fuel ratio?

sounds like you just bought someone else's problems,not a wise choice on buying a turbo honda with no ems and your making another wrong move on buying an apexi afc.

take a good picture of your engine bay, post it up on here. perhaps there is an aftermarket map sensor installed on the car.

for a good cheap wide band sensor/display, check out the NGK AFX wideband (google it )

not sure how close this is to you but.. check out http://www.t1racedevelopment.com

It might be a vacuum leak, problems with the 02 sensor, could be a lot of things actually

if it was a vacum leak, the idle would be higher than normal...


just take your car to a shop, and have them look at it. apparently you arent capable of diagnosing any sort of problem yourself. .

doubt it, factory map sensors are often left on the tb b/c most aftermarket ones won't fit on the same spot. Odds are you have an aftermarket map sensor and one way of finding it is tracing the vacuum lines.

Did you buy it like that? Or did it start doing that after you bought it?
