greddy idle problems
alright guys, i just had my engine rebuilt and had a new greddy turbo-kit installed recently in 04 6MT. Currently i am running the greddy e-management ultimate for the time being, until i'm able to afford a cobb AP from MM. And the only modifications i have besides the greddy kit, is the agency exhaust and midpipe. As of now the car runs good while driving but at a stop light or stop sign my idle is starting to fluctuate between 800-1200 rpms. i figured by resetting the ECU as well as doing the "break pedal" trick it will clear this problem. However i was wrong.
i had some codes pulled from autozone and i'm getting a p0172 and a p2097, bascially saying that im running rich. i'm trying to get this resolved ASAP, if you guys are familar with this i would appericate some help. also i would like to add, i have new plugs and reused my coils and cables which are only 2000 miles old.

what do you recommend for an intake?
i'm going to roll with the greddy BOV asap, but do you know if it can be recir'd?
but whats crazy is i before i did all the resets, i got 3 different codes. p0301, p0300, and p0172

bov is a big deal that i overlooked. i actually ran my greddy with the greddy intake, it works for some and not for others. but those 3 things are most likely your issues

o really? were you still using the EMU at that time before you upgraded? what do you guys think HKS or Greddy?

Go by this checklist. I'm running the greddy kit and have learned what works and What doesn't.
Get rid of greddy couplers for new silicone ones. I have some for sale if u want them. Vibrant is good.
Get BOV and recirculate.
Install check valve into jet air hose attached to intake pipe (S2 per manual)
Get rid of greddy intake.
Get boost gauge / afr gauge at least.
That's basic. Not sure what your car experience is so if you already know the above issues then disregard. Happy motoring.

i ran the AP with the greddy intake and HKS BOV, vent to air. only had issues with vaccum over 30inhg. so basically if i went from full throttle to nothing. just had ot pop the clutch to bring the engine back. became second nature after a while.

if your looking to have a good intake, get the AEM and use the following modification for the greddy kit https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-ultimate-diy-greddy-turbo-bhr-coils-aem-intake-mod-boost-control-195786/

aint that a b*tch! You know, i really wish greddy would step it up a notch on their R&D. alright guys i'm going to jump on the COBB AP and a HKS BOV (reic'd). And let you guys know what the out come will be.
And as far as the greddy air intake system, is the problem based on pulling hot air? and that is why you're recommending to purchase a CAI?
also i want to thank you guys for the advice on this problem

its maf sizing and turbulent flow are much more important than the heat of the eingine bay, especially since your putting that air through an oil cooled and intercooled turbo.
