Im having massive idle problems in my 98 gsr turbo. I need help. I idle at about 1,500 which isnt too bad, then it drops to 100 yes 100 and almost kill sitself. I already flushed and refilled the radiator. The spark plugs are new and fine. This is an all of a sudden problem. HELP ME! I know nothing about my rev controller or any sensors or anything. The extent of my knowledge was used when i installed the turbocharger. PLEASE HELP! The only chance i have to race is tomorrow and then i have to wait another 6 months due to busy schedule! Brand new clutch and flywheel didnt fix problem. I NEED AN EXPERT!

check all of your vacuum fittings, especially the ones on the thottle body.

yeah check and recheck its prolly sumthing lil that u over looked

 

It also sounds hesitant when launching/taking off. Its like extra backfire pops occur and a temporary minor loss of power is detectable. Any advice for that? I put the turbo in about 2 months ago, assuming the vaccum lines are ok, what else should i go and look for?

Something like this happened in my buds del sol we installed a turbo on... It would drop idle and then gain and then drop untill it just stalled. What we did is at a stop turn the ac on and then once we get going turn it off and it solved the problem for the time being!

 

check throttle linkage, all vaccum fitting, and geta spray bottle with soapy water, and spray all the fittings throught your turbo system. it may be a boost leak.
