Knowledgable WRX Mechanic Needed

I am about 90% of the way done installing my APS turbo inlet on my '07 STi. Basically I'd just like to have someone who has worked on their car a bit come take a second look at mine and make sure everything looks like it's done correctly (vacuum lines in correct order, etc.)

Even better, if you have a new STi that I could just take a look at to cross reference with mine, that would be great.

There is one thing that I do need a second person's help with, and that is with an oil feed line, with my new turbo inlet pipe, the feed line doesn't quite reach it's destination, and just needs to be pried over a hair so I can connect it, it's just too hard to do with only 1 person.

Anyone that can help please give me a shout, I can compensate you for your time if you'd like. Randy - 714-785-9483

PS, I do need to complete the job by tomorrow (apr 1) in the early afternoon so I can have use of my car.

I finally got it finished a little while ago and went to fire the car back up, but it has a horrible idle now. Revs as low as 200 RPM's then spikes to 3000 to keep the engine running, then back to 1500-2000 inconsistantly which is where it normally sits at when warming up. Can anyone give me some ideas as to what my problem may be?

Any help is greatly appreciated as this is my daily driver and would like to get it back running ASAP.

Make sure the couplers are not open or caught on something. Is your MAF hooked up?
