i have a 1995 2.2l legacy and after i had my mechanics put on my forced airtech stage 3 kit i have no complaints except that they had to take off my ac and do away with my egr valve. i am not to familiar wiht this device but when i turn the car on in the morning i have to hold the throttle open till it warms up or the car dies.
also my check engine light is on (i expected such)
my questions are this can i use engine managment to sooth my car and tell it that t now has a friend mr turbo and to play nice so the check engine light is off.

and can i use engine managment to correct the throttle problem.

also after the car dies the atoil temp light flashes ofr a bit then goes away.

any suggestions

i figuredsome thing like this would happen when turboing a non turbo car. but i am a perfectionist and i want it to run smooth liek a greased up fat guy down a water slide.

Can you have the CEL checked and tell us what it is? That may indicate the problem.
It sounds like your Idle Air Control Motor/circuit is not working. Have the installers double check that.
Make sure your MAF is plugged in and working properly, unless you are running a Link and have converted to MAP.
