Default Pestering problems... Help

alright 1st off i have researched alot alot alot alot.... But i thought id post this just incase im missing anything... List of problems are:

1st. priority:

-Just yesterday i installed my ebay FMIC...
-Relocated the (stock dv) to the cold side and also swapped that with my hks ssqv bov... (yes i kno its a bov but it remains closed at idle)
-Took the map sensor and moved it closer to the manifold..
-My secondary air system has had a incorrect flow for quite some time because of a tube that broke so instead of replacing a $80 tube from audi i just removed it all together...
(correct me if im wrong but its just for startup to clear emissions through exaust? (pretty good weight reduction though haha))

So today my car is running rich with the rough idle as expected but when i go to mash the gas or (spoil the turbo up quick) my car gives, the rpms drop and then i regain control of speed!!!
What is this about? Is it part of the running rich??? whats going on??? BTW My fmic is 28 x 7x 2.5 and im using 2.5' piping... (I know there is a pressure drop or lose of boost while using stock turbo but i want to go BT. someday so I just went with the 2.5' even though ima have to get a new IC to handle power... so i could clear room and only cut the bumper once...)


2nd Priority:

-I feel and hear what sounds like the abs pumping underneath my feet and on gas pedal... But when im sitting and i send it to nuetral it goes away then when i enter drive it continues...

I came up with a few different things it could be but dont know for sure... Tierods, Cv boot, Axle, Wheel bearing, But those dont make much sense since it goes away in neutral im leaning toward tranny now??? Anyone have an idea...


3rd Priority:

-tick in engine sounds like its coming from the front coil pack--have only noticed it at idle, not sure if its continues when driving but when i did start my car for the first time since FMIC Install and bov i revved to make sure the bov was working and it seems like the engine misfired for a second... Any ideas??? All help is appreciated im a newb DIY'ing everthing...


As of right now that is all i have I will be posting pics of Intercooler on here along with codes i get tommorrow...

ooo sorry its a 2000 a4 1.8t quattro tip...

Also would a chip solve the turbo problem?

and

With the MAP close to the manifold would that through it off causing some of these problems??

Thanx again

running rich, foul plug, missfire....

you should recirculate your BOV, your going to ruin your cat

what do you mean you re-located your map? your MAF?

your fmic piping is too large, I would expect a bit of a bog from the pressure drop

a chip will help with the psi loss from the fmic
get a new set of plugs
and recirculate your BOV!

well, goodluck!

sounds like a missfire to me....

I thought the ssqv already came mounted with recirculated piece? I plan to chip with giac and run 13 psi once thats done with my turbo xs hpbc...(to make up the lose of pressure)

So recirculating piece, new plugs, chip, higher psi, should correct all the madness with the turbo right?

today i went to leave my driveway and went to acceleratei felt a pause and drop in rpm like i was losing power then it came back became real shaky for a minute like it was losing power all together and then there it went, the car just shut off... I believe the plugs are done....

or is it the coil packs??? whats your take on it???

recirculating insert is in the mail

cel is showing:

incorrect air flow
secondary air system
fuel injection (this is all just about a hour before it died i stopped and got this reading, which my secondary air system is completely gone)

What plugs should i get, that will handle a good amount of tuning???
