Morden314 is infamous around these parts
idle that drops every few seconds

Just started getting a problem where my idle dips by around 100-200 rpm every 5 seconds or so. Any ideas?Thanks

Maybe a vacuum leak? Have you done a boost leak test?

Most likely a leak on the intake side before the turbos. Check everything from the airbox to the turbo. Boost leaks (ie after turbos) are more likely to give problems under power rather than at idle, in my experiance.
