running problems on turbo swap

Ok just bolted up the last things on my N/A to turboII conversion. the car will fire up but unless you really give it gas and keep it up above about 2500rpms, it just revs and dies. i was thinkin one of the things that i didn't swap was the AFM. this is still off of the N/a and i am using a turbo ecu. does the N/A AFM send a different type of signal to the ecu that could be causing this problem, or do you think i should look elsewhere.

Also i seam to have made my drain line for the turbo to small and there is large amounts of oil sneaking by the seals into the exhaust. my question is once i build a new drain line of the proper size will it stop the blow by or have i completely blown my seals and need a new turbo

thanks guys any help will be great, i need this car running soon

did you add a turbo or do a turbo 2 motor swap? yeah you will need to change the afm that is prob your idle problem(afm not letin computer increase air intake)
and ifyour using the na harness and turbo2 ecu u have a few pins u need to rewire google a rx7FSM(factory service manuel) and see what u need to change like one is the power steering and knock sensor if you dont change when you turn wheel ecu will think motor is knocking etc. make sure its usdm ecu (n332,n333) cause a jdm ecu wont work (had that prob too)

Could be a few different things, in my swap the problem ended up being a massive vacuum leak
