Strange idle after 2 weeks of not being turned on.

heres the vid. quality is bad, and since i recorded it on my phone it came out sideways

the car was running smooth right before my clutch problem. nothing bad, it just ran great. i don't beat on the car but i try not to baby it as well. so i go to turn it on so i can let run a bit and this is what it sounds like. theres faint black smoke coming from the tail pipe as well.

The motor is new. about a few thousand miles on it. new non sequential turbos. 255 walbro. down pipe high flow cat and hi power hks exhaust. running only 10 psi. still on stock ecu

it was really simple actually. a dumb mistake on my part.

story goes:
i was going to replace my clutch master so i needed to get the cruise control out of the way. since my friend had just given me a brand new momo steering wheel i decided to might as well get rid of the cruise control. so i relocated my boost gauge sensor to a better spot but, for some reason forget to plug the vacuum line back in.

so thats all it was. an unplugged vacuum line. really stupid on my part i know.
its amazing how finicky these cars are. any little thing will make them act up.
