rough idle after replacing coupler
ok here it goes:
replaced a torn IC coupler because of boost leak. let the car warm up, and went to get my sister from school. car was at 85 degrees C on the pfc commander. smashed on the accelerator for a bit to see if i get my 10 psi back. hit about 11 psi no problem. a couple seconds later i pull up at a stop. THEN I NOTICE MY CAR IS IDLING RETARDED. idles at about 740 - 760, no biggie. but it feels like it's idling at 500- 600 rpms. car doesnt die, 1st gear at rough up until i get to 2000 rpms. all gears are smooth, boost is still strong, and no smoke. I'm praying to god that a vacuum hose popped off since my car hasnt seen 10 psi of boost for about a month now. any ideas anyone? i just hope i dont need a rebuild. (im at 60000 mi.)

well, took the 7 to rotary power, and just as i feared, i have a chipped apex seal.
ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GO TO GET MY MOTOR TAKEN OUT (for a good price, or if someone is willing to help me take it out myself =D....)?!?!
i dont wanna get charged 1500 bucks for R&R. the rebuild alone is costing me an arm and a leg.
