Has you tuner tried adjusting the airmass tables in the idle regions? I don't doubt it's related to the combo of the FG cams and BA inlet system (assuming there is no mech issues)

When you sprayed the manifolds, what did you use?

I have found a leaking intake manifold using butane in a can (for a portable stove) and a thin hose.

That let me direct the gas exactly where I wanted. I figured that because the butane would displace air that would otherwise also be ducked in it would work well (and it did work well for me).

Obviously be careful of setting things on fire.

Unfortunately never got to here it run as was removed from a car wreck prior to me buying. So to hard to tell but has perfect compression and leak tested and all good. Also have had sump off and everything looks brand new along with no wear on cams etc.Guy I bought it off said it was run on e85 for a while prior to crash and had 38000km on the clock (saw a speedo but pics don't mean much I guess). Car boosts great its just the idle, vac sits at 14hg at idle which indicates valve timing. Timing has been checked and is all good. Sooo we have to assume its the cams mixed with the bf inlet manifold. If I change back to bf cams in theory everything should work fine. Problem is I don't no of any full long motor fgs in bfs to compare to.

So still no luck with idle fix, not changing cams to bf just yet until I cover all other bases first. Pulled intake apart tonight and pulled fuel rail off to ensure gaskets etc are all good. Attached is a pic of inlet manifold connected with injector removed. Does all look good?? I'm just a little worried as a small part of the block covers the injector hole. Doubt it would make a big difference as they are all the same but thought I'd check. post-42098-138037248173_thumb.jpg
