This is on a Lotus, but same powertrain. :)
So I replaced the old turbo (seals blew) with a new GT28RS. I also altered the MAF housing configuration by moving the MAF from right behind a 90 degree bend to on a straight area immediately behind the air filter. It is the original MAF and also the same pipe OD. All in all it sat in my garage for around 6 months from the last time it was driven.
I changed the fluids, checked for leaks, etc., but when I fired it up yesterday it would instantly drop very low in RPMs and then immediately stall. If I keep my foot gently depressed on the gas it will build up RPMs but then drop back down. Basically I have to "tap" the gas pedal in order for it to maintain RPMs enough to stop from stalling. I thought maybe the ECU just needed to re-learn or something so I gently kept it on the gas for about 10 minutes but to no avail.
According to my wideband gauge it appears to be running a little lean as well.
Any ideas?
