Default s2 cutting out after pace cooler fitted

matess2 rst keeps cutting out and won't start and idle unless u give it gass since fitting his pace intercooler this afternoon.

its 2nd hand, but it did have an ait leak kind of problem before aswell. he turned the idle up and every time he was slowing down for lights etc or stopping the cars revs would decrease and car would kinda shake as if its gonna stall and revs would go up.
Didn't sound very strong if that makes any sense in its idling and sometimes it would stall aswell.

now he fitted his pace it seems to of got worse it won't stay idliening at all, so we turned his idle valve up more, we also had to move the distriubutor about abit to get it to ilde at all.

But its very bad now cos when he accelerates off in 1st gear there seems like no power or movement from the car and then it eventually starts coming to the pedal and then the car moves of in 1st gear and will boost very well.

any ideas on the air leak issue or whatever as we've checked all the vacum pipes everywhere, tigthened everything.

one thing we realised when it managed to hold on with dear life to an idle of about 900rpm if u press the brake pedal the revs go down and up

does this mean anything with regards to the problem?

cheers, hope u can help
