Experts and peers please please help!
Ok guys my car is jumping a little between 2-3k on the revs.
On idle it is every so often dropping as if it may stall but never does.
I have replaced the turbo with a td05 16g
I then put a decat up pipe on it and removed the egt sensor- put a resistor in the slot for the egt sensor though
The car was running ok still at this point with no engine mgt light on.
I then put the ngk 7b -one stage colder spark plugs in the car- this is when the issue started.
The car started jumping all over the place and idle was really rough.
Engine mgt light was flashing also at times while driving
I then removed the spark plugs and gapped them all to 0.7mm
Now it seems to be ok apart from between 2-3k on revs where it still jumps a bit.
The flashing engine mgt light has not came back- just a solid light.
DURING THE INSTALL OF THE TURBO I BROKE THE VACUUM TUBES THAT GO TO THE TURBO ACTUATOR AND OTHER SIDE OF THE TURBO.
I am currently using bigger piping without the restrictor pill.
Would this have anything to do with it.
I have been driving off boost since install of turbo.
The actuator line seems wider on the td05 16g than the td04- is this right?
Remap booked in for end of month

if you are funning different turbo other bits etc, this would cause it to not run right, dont think the holse would make that much deiiference, but i could be wrong
have you got the leads going to the right plgs, all pushed on fine?
if its coil packs, any of them broken?
