Tii swap leaks???

I can start the car just fine. It wont hold idle and wont get any boost. But you can hear the turbo spool. You can hear it pretty clear. I do think its leaking some where but I dont know where. I checked all the lines. When I attached the Tii AFM to the air box. It was too big (I think the guy sent me one from an FD I dont know though). So there is an air opening in between there. Other than that. The hose coming off from back of the engine (the hose that suppose to go to the cat.) is open too. Is it one of those or can my waste gate just be stuck open?

FDs do not use AFMs.

Sounds like you have a vacuum leak. Try getting a spray bottle filled with water and spray it in the suspected area of the leak. When the engine sucks in the water, it will run differently. From there you can narrow down the exact location.
