Car won't stay running after FMIC install
Alright, car was running fine, installed custom FMIC with an ebay piping kit that was cut and welded everywhere except at the IC inlet/outlet and at the TB (higgi adapter). After the install, the car starts for a second but won't stay on...if you give it gas to try and keep it running and it hits about 900-1000rpm then stalls. What are the most likely problems?

If you're still running an AFM system then My 1st guess would be that youve got a massive vac leak somewhere. My car did a similar thing when I had a IC hose half off.
Is the AFM plugged in?

F**K THE SYSTEM!!
yup check the AFM connection. Than check, the few couplers and clamps. Give your intercooler piping a good pull see if its loose.
IF everthing checks fine. Than i bet your welding job just isnt cutting it. Check one piece pipes for leaks. Find a way to put pressure in the pipes to check for leaks.
Did you clean and grind the welds and pipes?
