Ok guys I have wrote this up a few days ago and done Alot of research, my car at idle is bouncing from 1200rpm to 2000rpm, I have a r34 gtt, I've been reading all day and I've replaced the afm, didn't fix it, tried fiddling with the tps, it jst changes the idle rpm but stil was jumping, I think tps is the one closest to the radiator on the tb? Ok now I tried the one at the rear of the tb, and it didn't change the revs or how the engine ran at all, I tried disconnecting it and still didn't do anything so I'm guessing this is the problem? I'm hoping it is cos I'm hopeless at working on cars and if it is I'll be stoked with myself lol, of this is the problem can any1 tell me what this sensor is called so I can get another?

Pull all intercooler Pipes off, inlet manifold and checked for cracks/split hoses and anything else that doesn't look right, everything seems to be fine, I noticed the butterfly in the tb is open when the car is off? Not sure if that's correct or not? Car is not blowing any smoke and is still jumping while at idle and is consistent, no powerloss, the sensor on the front of the plenum does adjust the idle so I know that's still working, the one at the back still does nothing to the idle when playing with it, even of unplugged so I'm still guessing this is the problem, I notice there is a bit of blowby in the piping but not a lot, checked radiator fluid and the oil, put everything back to stock including stock boost solenoid and blow off valve, still nothing, checked vac lines, hose clamps, battery terminals, afm, plugs were done a month ago ngkbkr7es, cleaned pod filter, reset ecu, still go no idea

List everything you've done (I mean everything, mods, tweaks, servicing etc) between when the car was working properly (idled at normal revs), and now.

Take a look at the charcoal canister (black cylinder with 2 or 3 hoses connected) and see if you haven't blown one of the hoses off when you upped the boost pressure.

I don't know about RB25 Neo's, but I think NGK BKR7ES plugs could be the wrong ones (BCPR7ES might the correct one)

Checked the canister, all fine, pulled the main pipe that goes to front of the turbo off and no splits or holes, checked the alloy piping that goes into the induction pip and looks fine also, it has to be the sensor on the back of the plenum...

      No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT

      Just cut the bottom of the guard out. It's no longer got a big duct, to a sealed box, or a restriction. It has all the cold air from outside. Also, that cai you showed looks terrible. Bends are NOT good for go gos!

      Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔

      If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.
