So since I really dont have a set 5sfte post just my "need a little help" post, I figured Id make one aswell.

What I have:

Built 5sfe:
CP pistons - In
3sgte rods - In
crank milled to fit the rods - In
PP'd head - In
Metal head gasket - In
ARP head studs - In

Turbo parts:
3s Manifold, Turbo, Oil lines, Coolent lines - In, In, In, In
DG custom IC piping - In
Ebay intercooler (cant remember the size) - In
Injectors 460cc - In
Walbro fuel pump - In
Greddy Type S bov - In
KO Racing DP - In

Other stuff:

Batt relocated to trunk - In
Devils own WI kit - In
Turbo xs manual boost controller - In
Emanage ultimate - here, waiting on the harness.
Boost gauge - In
EGT Gauge - In
AEM UEGO - In

Im rather suprized I havent had any major set backs yet (knock on wood!). Ive taken my time and set a daily goal up for myself and tried to stick with it. Even when I got ahead I cleaned up and planned the next day out. This way Ive been 80% ahead of myself on ordering small things like nuts and bolts that I missed or didnt have from used parts. Would be 100% but some how the tech's at my local toyota cant order the correct part even if I give them the part #'s.

Ok so the oil lines were swapped, oil is flowing freely now. Got everything all tightned up and the car started. Idle is "okay" but anything more then that smokes like a mofo and the car almost cuts off trying to return to idle. I dont think its driveable at all atm but I also dont have anything taking fuel out. This is the point where Im about in the dark. I knew I had the install almost down pat but tuning is another thing all together. Is this about how I should expect it to act before a neo/emanage running the fuel? I gotta fiddle with the EGT because its not reading anything but the AF is pegged at 10, Im sure thats not good considering its blinking while reading 10 , Im fairly sure this is due to all the fuel being dumped in at idle. Any words of adivce would be very helpful.

you need to pull ~15% or more fuel at idle.
it WILL run like total crap otherwise.
if you have a fedral spec car, it will be even more pronounced.
im pulling ~-20% of my duty cycle out @ idle, plus -15% of my airflow to get ~14-15:1, with the EMU
