just installed turboback and there is a problem

Over the weekend I installed an APS turboback and a Samco 3piece IC hoses. Now my engine idle is around 1000-1100 RPMs, my boost is maxing out at 8-9 psi, and I have a CEL light. I relocated my O2 sensor to the new location on the APS downpipe. This doesnt seem right to me and dont know what is going on. Does anyone know what to do?

check all of your hoses,
make sure there are NO leaks
the turboback and hoses are enough of a change in air flow that your ecu is prob seeing way too much and cutting boost

same thing happened to me,

check and recheck all of your gaskets and hoses, after that, reset the ecu and let her idle for 15 minutes or so, and you should be fine

if the code comes back, get it pulled, asap

krillz - when you first did this where did you find your problem? I'm thinkin a pinched hose underneath the IC because it seemd a little tight when installing the hose to the blowoff valve.

Are you also saying I shouldnot be driving my car at all right now if this keeps on going on?

reset the car and dont drive it until you do... it WILL idle high for a few minutes but should level out at about 500-700 rpm after a few minutes....

i think the whole idling weird thing is just easier to notice now that you can hear it, after a few minutes it should die down

check your hoses, and recheck them, get back to me,

Good luck man!
