hi, i converted my na to turbo, highflowed turbo, avo intercooler, decompression plate and now it wont idle. it ran perfectly before conversion. it wont idle but revs, the boost gauge is reading 0 bar and when yu try to spool it up or rev it alot no noise of turbo ( no exhaust on) it spooled up good and made heaps of noises before when i had the kit on a high comp engine. Can someone please help me asap,

using airflow meter or not? could be faulty in regards to the no idle issue. it sounds like boost/vacuum leak. check and make sure all piping is on and secure, no leaks or holes.
