HELP! Uncontrollable idle
Hi, i have a 1997 miata that i just turboed. Its tuned on megasquirt gen 2. Once I finished installing everything i started it and the idle kept climbing about to redline. So i switched it back to the stock ecu to see if it was a tuning problem, same outcome, so i read forums for awhile and everone said IAC so i replaced that and of course same thing was happening. I finally had the genius idea of disconnecting the wastegate rod to see what would happen, on the stock ecu it idles really rough and stalls out with no throttle, with the wastegate rod connected it revs up. On megasquirt with the rod on or off it revs up. My assumption is its catching boost at idle and just starts revving the **** out of itself because i can hear it spooling up even with the throttle closed. Any ideas on what i can do? Thanks!

What injectors are you running? Stock ecu idles rough as it's probably running pig rich on those injectors.
post more details on your setup and a log when the crazy revving is happening. And post your tune file.
