check your injectors, make sure there's no leak on its seats on the manifold

Default my Stage III did the same thing...

That was before I found and fixed several vacuum leaks. This might be your problem too.

If you let it run for a minute does the idle fix itself and start going smooth again?

Sounds like the ECU will adjust and it will run smooth after a bit.. Checked your plugs lately also??

Default Thats what mine does... Did finding the leaks fix it?

I just think that this is strange because I've replaced all of my piping from the turbo to the throttle body so there shouldnt be any leaks. How did you find the leak?

Default thread hijack: Did you ever get your timing belt done through the guy I suggested?

or did you go elsewhere?

WYSIWYG: you were right, injectors were also bad, (but car didnt start) put in new ones already.
