This last week I did a bunch of general maintenance on my car. I gave her an oil change, coolant change, coolant flush, all new coolant hoses, new coolant gauge temp sensor, new thermostat, new spark plugs and wires, new distributor cap, new power steering pump, new power steering hoses, new alternator bushings, and all new belts.

In the process of doing all of this different work I had to take different pieces off to get to things. Like to change the thermostat I had to take off the AIC. To change some coolant hoses I had to take off the turbo pipes. I also had to take off things like my air conditioning condenser, and my alternator.

Now, I have it all back together, and it seems to run ok, except the turbo, and at idle. The turbo gauge is spiked, almost where it rests when the car is off all the time. It has very little movement even during hard boost. I am not sure if this because the turbo is really revving this high? or if it is just the gauge, and a vacuum hose is off somewhere? It does feel like the boost is still there, it does however make more noise than before.

I also am having odd idle problems, like the car will idle terrible when first started now, and go to a near stall. But after it has been running for a while it will idle at about 1000 - 1200 RPMs.

And last but not least, I am not sure, but I feel like I still have air in the cooling system. I get antifreeze coming out the bleed nipple when the car is off, but if I run the car I do not. I always thought that if the car was on and I opened the bleeder I would get a steady stream of fluid. Is this not true?

Thanks guys for all the help on these different questions.
