^^seriously....the only advise you need is to put your car back to stock and only once it's running right, no leaks, no mystery issues, maybe think about possibly putting some parts back on. if you drive your car at all without at least a base tune for the mods you have you are probably doing damage. from the sound of your description you only have a vague idea what you are doing so unless you have a spare motor laying around you might want to figure out whats what before you find yourself with a very large lawn ornament. just my $0.02

Yeah..though about that but just don't have place to work on my car to put back to stock..since i live in apartment..and my stock td04 done deals with shaft play and oil leaking..I mean that was the reason why I decided to do this Sti turbo swap anyway...

UPDATE
While tune bad misfire after 4500rpm..change spark plug and coilpack..still doing it but at 5000rpm...changed out the crank position sensor (is was really dirty)..still doing it...after the boost leak test found out that there are many boost leak and from spark plug where coilpack is sitting had a air comin out too..could boost leak cause misfire?? Or dose it come down to compression test...
