Default Stalling Out at Idle, Gutless

I just finished swapping in a ls into my ej1, its a stock ls on 14psi. When i do a cold start it idles and runs fine, after about 3-5min it begins to idle rough and stall out. If I give it gas it does not stall and runs great above 1000rpms. My fuel pump is fine, replace dizzy, and all my grounds are hooked up. I don't think i have a vacuum leak. I plugged in all the wires in the right spot and it is not throwing any codes. I tried to drive it and it is gutless and just stalls out even when i floor it.

Any ideas what it could be?

Check your timing, and verify what ECU and tune you're using.

Total lack of info for a turbocharged car with issues.

Basemapped or tuned? MAP sensor stock? Describe FULL setup and not just "14PSI" because that doesn't tell us squat.

Definitely recheck your timing, but it's also possible the tune isn't correct for your setup.

Is the tune for the LS or the previous engine?
