Thanks to everybody for helping me out.
I'll never buy another reman AFM.
Fuel cut is caused when the ECU cuts the injector pulse, not power to the pump. Wiring the pump directly to the battery will have no effect.

Now can you get your idle below 1k, so you can finally set your timing?

Ok. Then I won't buy the FCD until I install the wideband.
Yes! It was a short lived miracle.
I got it down to 900 rpm then timed it and it dropped to 700 rpm.
It was advanced by about 20 degrees.
Idk why but now I can't get it lower than 1100 but at this moment I'm already satisfied.
Plus I have confidence that the timing is dead on.

I'm using the N332 ecu so I'm assuming it does.

yes, you will need to go with further precautions before upping the boost beyond stock fuel cut level. try not to hit it too much, it only cuts the injector signal to the rear rotor and can still pop the motor if you tempt it enough.

That's exactly why I'm not gonna buy the FCD until I've installed the wideband.

Ok fixed the vacuum cap problem and car idles at 700 strong.
Timing is dead on!
But now since this is a 6 port turbo and I'm planning on running 8-12 psi, how much should I retard the timing?

about 10 degrees for safety with the stock ecu.
