Default my motor is idling at 2000 rpm. why?

after i got some pistons installed on my motor (gsr), my car start idling at 2000 rpm after the motor is wam. everytime i tap or step on the gas pedal, the rpm goes back to 1000 rpm and jumps right back to 2000 rpm. i changed the throttle body and cable and it still does the same. does anybody know what i can do. a frend of mines say it could be the timing but im not sure, and thought i might ask u guys in here since its a turbo car.

get carb cleaner spray around the intanke manifold area. If the rpms rise it's because the carb cleaner is being sucked into the engine.

It's most likely a vac leak, air in your cooling system, or bad IACV.
