Car wont idle once it has been over 3000rpm, HELP!!

We only have one kink to work out of the turbo right now...

once I have gotten on the car hard.. and had revs over 3000rpm, it wont come back down and idle (unless I bring it down verry slowly from 3000..) which makes for very hard driving with redlights and such. connected to the same thing would be , if im cruising under 3000rpm (its fine if I am accelerating or bring it down - just cruising) at a constant speed, it cuts the fuel for an instant and jerks every once in a while for just an instant, but it sucks - i have to cruise above 3000rpm all the time.

i was told by a couple people check the BOV.. I have apexi bov, and I have tried adjusting it everyway possible, and even unhooked the vacuum hose to keep it from operating, and none of that helps, so I dont think its the bov.

any helps, please, so i can have this thing perfect thanks.

we adjusted the idle up a little so its right around 1000-1100 now, still no luck,

thanks in advance!

*turbo update* muffler went on the 3" exhaust today, and it sounds SOO much better, very quiet.. and pulls HARD AS HELL at 7.54psi.. LOVE it. !!

Harold where is your MAF? is it before the TB or before the Intake Filter?

if its before the TB it might be blown as Ethan says..

i remember kev saying something about too much pressure if the MAF is before the TB.. but then someone brought up the V1 supercharger kit.. so i dunnno


edit: i just watched the video.. its by the intake.. nevermind

Stillen changed the design of their superchargers kits because they realized that leaks or busted MAF sensors can occur if it is after the SC/before TB.

How are you doing your fuel management?

Just test your MAFS with a volt meter. My SC I30 had the "exact" same problem and it was the MAFS.
