Does your setup have the cold start injector? Might idle like a pig without it. If you run an aftermarket ECU then you can use the stock injectors for idle and startup, you don't need the cold start.
Havn't tried without the rising rate under boost. It pings as it is. For normal driving and idle, if I remove the vacuum line to the rising rate reg, the car idles fine. I'll take if for a short drive tommorow and let you know. Aparantly the stock regulator is adequete upto 5psi.
