thanks guys.. i replaced all the old oversized silicone and the throttle body coupler wasnt very tight, and i found the fuel pump resistor plug and plugged it in.. so it was mainly an air leak i believe..
10 points for everyone that said it was an air leak. and thanks to everyone else for their suggestions..

cheers

I dunno what you really mean by how is it, but im not really having a prob with it.. i havent put much boost through it yet.. because its pointing at the oil cooler lol, so its not getting very cool.

The fuel pump resistor plug comes out from the same part of the loom as the rad fan plug and plugs towards the firewall.

if that plug isnt plugged in, i heard it will just make your fuel pump run constant, so it wont cause stalling,, well shouldnt..
