Default Turbo miata idle problems VIDEO

hello everyone! I have had my turbo kit on my car for about a year now, I believe my tune is close to where it needs to be. I can never figure out why my idle is so rough at times. The problem occurs on and off, the car also likes to die when first starting it up or when I come to my first stop after pulling out of my driveway. But after I turn it back on it stays running but with a rough idle. Very confused would appreciate someone's knowledge on this. I will get my laptop out if someone wants to see my tune.

The plastic posts on the back of the tombstones like to break these days, causing that issue.

OP, select your idle cells and multiply them by ~1.1-1.15. Report back.
