Why is my car running like crap now?
So I installed new turbos, got rid of the a/p, and a pfc with a new map from rx7store.net. It started great and I gave it 20 minutes to idle and the car ran perfect, my boost problem was finally solved. but I was getting a bouncing idle often. So I searched and decided to adjust the air bleed screw. I turned it clockwise untill it was all the way in and then backed it out a 1/2 turn. But now it starts VERY sluggish, the engine shakes, the exhaust smokes a ton of white and black smoke, and sounds like a f'ing machine gun. I backed the screw out to where it was and it did'nt help at all. and I tried putting the old ecu back in but that didnt help either
This really has me stumped and i'm kind of scared since I'm my only fd mechanic
where I live

I reset the pfc and tried that but no luck, I gave it 20 minutes to idle and it didnt improve at all. the gas guage is going down really fast! something is seriously wrong, could I have screwed something up when I started it with the elbow off?

BINGO The hose had popped off under the map sensor. I guess I never looked there since it only says boost sensor. I fired her up and I heard some something loud that sounded like metal clashing against metal, under the hood. It still has a little bit of a different exhaust note at idle, and it hesitates when I give it gas.
