07 STi wont idle with FMIC
Just finished installing a Turbo XS fmic on an 07 STi and now the car won't idle.
I checked all the tubing connections and theres no leaks. The bov is recirculated so there shouldnt be any leak there either. the only thing i could think of was the maf because of the check engine light being on but its plugged in. Also when the key is in the on position but not running the TB is whining and clicking.
any help would be greatly appreciated

Car Info: no
Do hard Hard ECU Reset, then try to restart the car and see what happens.
My buddy had a prob like that but after he installed the APS Intake, and his idle was messed up, he did a hard ECU Reset, and the car relearned and Idled fine after that.
Goodluck

Just found out the damned Delta box needs a remote switch to download programs. Ordered it and should be here by week end.
Four weeks without the car and too little time to work on it.

Ordered the switch from TurboXS with 3 day UPS. It's day 13 and I'm still waiting. They haven't responded to my email inquiries.
Great customer service.
It may be time to get them on the phone and vent...

yep he is refering to me .. once i put on my intake my car was idling so wicked it sounded like i had a cam..lol and it also threw to codes but as soon as i resrt my eecu it was all good
It's been a long while, but the car is now running like a top. Had several things working against me and had too many other car projects going to put any time into this one.
I trailered the car down to Mike at GST Motorsports in Hayward. Got it back with a well tuned ECU (Cobb AccessPort), new rotors, pads, steel lines and high temp brake fluid, sway bars, and the anti-lift kit. Big difference. Runs great and handles much better.
The TurboXS FMIC I installed is too big and the turbo won't hold more than 11 psi up top. Still makes good power. I figure I'll get in some track time to get used to the car, then step up to a larger turbo...
