Bouncing vacuum @1900

Car is a 1988 vert with a turbo swap hopefully getting done soon. The motor was bought used, what is said to be from an auto that had a rear end accident. At idle it only pulls 12in of vacuum at 1500 it will pull 15in and at 1900 it will start bounces from 15in to 13in. At 1500rpm the motor seems to be running the best, sounds decent, and doesnt shake, At 1900rpm and up the entire car starts to shake. Sometimes idle will drop down to 700 and only pull 10in of vacuum. When adjusting the tps to get it within spec at idle once the engine is warm i had to back the screw almost all the way out. I noticed another adjustment screw accros but was wondering if there was any special adjustment for it? When i pulled the plugs out to check condition the rear rotors where fouled out.

Any emanage ultimate guys?

Hey guys just hooked up the emanage ultimate using dale clarks write up and the manual and im having a problem. im almost sure its something with the injectors. Dales doesnt really talk about it but i ran in emanage in series with the wire the grey stripe wire on the harness side and the red wire on the ecu side. And car does cranks but does not start. Do i need to have a basemap? These jumpers are kinda confusing. But i played with them and it didnt do anything? can i just have it run thorugh the emanage but not have the emanage effect it like running stock. thanks for any help guys

TPS on a normal car does not control idle.

could the bounicing idle be caused by the turbo. I need some help, vacuum on a boost car will it start to decrease while your increasing rpm because you are creating presure now from the turbo??? even if theres no load on the motor?because the turbo is still spooling.Maybe the motor is good and there something wrong with a transmission mount or something. The mounts are old. The engine mounts hold good though. the turbo makes alittle clicking sound. dont know if this is normal this is my first turbo car. i inspected the turbo before i put it in and it was good. Although im not a professional with turbos i did check for free play both lateral and thrust.
