TurboII won't idle
I took most of the right(passenger) side of my engine appart this week to see if I could diagnose/fix a leaky exhaust (between downpipe and block).
After running out of time, I re-assembled everything and now the car starts fine, but won't idle at all on it's own. If I'm not pressing the gas, the car revs like normal, but if I let off the gas, it just spins down to 0 rpm and shuts off. It restarts fine.
I believe I have all the hoses reattached, and the only two wires I took off (that I recall) are the O2 sensor and airbox plug, both are also re-attached.
Can anybody point me in the right direction?

The duct from the airbox to the turbo? Yeah, that thing is old and crispy and does have a rather large crack in it. I understand someone on this forum makes aluminum ones or something.
I will attempt to better apply a temporary fix.
