R32 gtst cutting out at 2500 rpm and blowing black smoke

Hi guys and gals hope everyone is enjoying there holidays. Unfortunately iv got a couple of issues with bring my build back to stock. 

I upgraded the old rb20det with a bigger blower, injectors and mafless ecu al work was done at prestige tuner, car has never skipped a beat. 

The time has come to bring the old girl back to stock, enjoy it a little and move on to bigger and better things. i had to buy a s/h rb25 turbo (no shaft play and wastegate isn't seized), factory ecu and injectors, the airflow meter wire where cut short to the plug so i had to plug each wire into the AFM one at a time with blade terminals. Started the car and it is surging, cutting out and sometimes holding revs at 2000 rpm, blowing black smoke and the car will not rev past 2500 rpm without coughing and spattering (just when it hits boost). I come to the conclusion that the AFM could be the issue so i replaced it, cleaned my plugs which where black, and checked to see if my timing had been changed (it hadn't) and still no improvement at all ): Any help would be greatly appreacated

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
