okay im new here and i have been following this thread for a couple of days now and is it just me or does it seem like he's having one heck of a problem with this build is this normal or what?
turbo FC's are picky, i find its actually better to spend the time and verify EVERYTHING is a) functioning and b) hooked up correctly.
this takes a little extra time, but the car runs better.
i dunno why he's wasting his time at autozone though, life is too short for that!

I realize I'm late to the party but when you replaced all the vac lines did you perchance forget the reducer "pill" that goes in the line to the pressure sensor?
I did, and my idle went to hell until I replaced it.

the "reducer pill" that was mentioned is plumbed into the MAP sensor line that connects to the intake manifold. It is a restriced orifice tube who's function is to smooth the charge air pulses to the MAP sensor to give the computer more of an "average" MAP reading

never heard of that before...
anyways, im just waiting on the air blleds from Mazdatrix so i can put it all back together and hopefull that was the last problem. i'll pressure test it before i try and start it up just to be sure...
oh, also... i port and polished the lower manifold and the stock wastgate while it was off. heres some pics...
