I'm pulling out my hair here, trying to figure out my misfiring issues. I also have low vacuum at idle, but I'm not sure if that is due to the turbo cams RGR spec'd out for me. I'm sitting at -10 at idle.
Basically, the car seems to be running like butt since installing the boost controller. I installed a AEM TruBoost, very meticulously. I used spring clamps at every spot... planning ahead for +20psi.
So the symptoms I'm seeing are low (?) vacuum, and misfiring at +5000rpm. The plugs (Brisk) look like crap to me. The car is running at a 10:1 AFR at WOT (basically pegged out). Lito has revised the tune a few times, but there was no change. It was always a bit rich, but is now pegging out since the EBC install. I'm 99% sure I installed the EBC correctly. I had 7-8psi from the wastegate springs alone. Set to a 45% duty cycle, I'm seeing about 11.5psi before the car starts misfiring. Could the plugs alone be causing the rich mix?
I know this post is rambling, and I apologize. I'm frustrated and am faulting my troubleshooting skills at this time. I've gone over every vacuum line and even sprayed MAF cleaner around to listen for a jump in RPM.
On top of all this, I have some odd noise at idle. It sounds like it's coming from under the car, on the passenger side. It's very noticeable around the front passenger tire well. Here's a video:
