Koyo May Caused This Problem!
SUP!
Well i just bought this koyo radiator. and took almost a day to install it (had to get the coolant/water circulating through the system) and man this radiator rocks! temps are a constant (87c) but i have a majior problem that i need help with!
After i installed the radiator i had a friend help me. onced the temps went to 95c the car started reving on its own to 2k. A friend of mine had told me that the idle was too high and that he took a screw driver and twisted something near the oil filter to put the idle lower. 2 days past and i drove the car. and when started up the car idles @ 2k (the car has no ports) after its warmed up it revs from 1-2k constantly. if you take your foot off the gas the car acts as if your foot is on the gas still crusing. doesnt slow down. The revs wont go below 1.5k so it wont slow down.
Second my turbo isnt boosting. I did a hard run once and i saw the boost go to 2psi max. so im wondering whats the deal with that. could it be something i did wrong with the install of the radiator or something he did when he lowered the revs ? Engine is a rebuilt with 3000 miles ago stock port. Mods in signature

He adjusted the idle screw. The one under the TB is the 'fine' adjustment, the 'coarse' adjustment is near where the throttle cable connects to the TB. Search for Idle Adjustment and you should find the procedure.
For the boost problem, make sure all the couplers are placed properly and the clamps are secure but not overtight.

IT COULD BE THAT CAUSE I HAVE A GRILL ON THAT TUBE THAT GOES TO THE TURBO. SO I DONT THINK I COULD be anything to do with something going inside the turbo!

So you've got over 1000 posts and a single turbo fd and you don't know about the idle adjusting screw???
Vacuum leak as in a vacuum hose is off somewhere.

just to give you guys the result of my problem. it dealt with the idle. one of the hoses got loose and had caught dirt in the hose.
