Ok so the set up I have is ej20 with vf39,Sti injector, up pipe, full exaust, fuel pump...stock ecu with no tune yet...I'm hoping that is it just the tune but my car don't pull like it used to be and when I had bov it was surging after like 5 pound of boost..so I put the stock bpv without recurcling and the surging is gone..other then that there's I believe oil leak..coolant leak..and I believe power staring fluid leak from god knows where...the car is just pretty much running like crap...but no smoke coming out of exhaust..also my af is reading really weird coming to stop and I idle at the 15.0...and on and on..just trying to fix one by one...

^ Tune will definitely help. I'd also fix all your small issues to get all that out of the way, simple maintenance will go a long way. You also said you have the stock BPV on without recirculating? Do you have the recirc hose plugged? Having a giant hole after your MAF will make everything run like crap. Either way, I'd fix all the little crap and take it easy til you can get a tune.

I just don't want to spend that money for tune and find out that it's not tunable...so trying to make sure everything els is ok and that its just runnin bad cause of no tune..not bad compression or bad turbo...and yes it's plugged..also I would like to fix those leaks but have no Idea where it's coming from...it's hard to explain but it looks like it's coming from above up pipe by the header..that's what it look like..should I just do like leak down test? If so dose anyone kno how or done it before? How much? Thanx
