    Do you know how to pull codes on your ECU? There can be codes that wont bring on a CEL. I had a knock sensor and coolant temp sensor codes on my car and CEL never came on.

    okay check this out lol. When i pulled the codes, i pulled a code 55 at first. I replaced the coolant sensor, nothing. BUT I found a i THINK a huge boost leak, right here at this tube/hose (look at picture) not sure if im supposed to block it off or what the deal is, but i blocked it off. thats where that insane suckage was coming from. anyways car is idling real low about 550ish and now throwing a code 12, (12 - Air Flow Meter). I drove it around the block hoping it would kinda work itself out...negative. When i come to a stop it dies, to keep it running i have to feather the gas. The idle wont adjust. Before i blocked it, it was throwing a code 55 and idle could adjust, WTF. about to kick my own ass I unplugged the "boost leak" and now everything is back how it was, at least i dont have to feather it to keep it running. Also mad smoke once its blocked, would running lean make it smoke?

    On cold pipe side, runs up to under where the IACV connects. Does that possibly connect on a bigger nipple on the cold pipe?
