Under 1 volt with engine off and the key in the run position. Make it as close to 1 volt as possible.

i usually set mine at .98V, also check it to make sure it doesn't have any flat spots/spikes from idle to WOT.

well now it idles smooth and there isnt any black smoke but when its idling and I try to rev it it almost dies and I have to nurse it to make it rev up plus I cant make more than 5 psi of boost. I set my tps at 1 volt should it be alittle lower?

should be set between .95 and .99 volts, not 1v+. somebody on the turbo board told me tc's are a little more touchy than the 5.0s with the tps setting, i cant rember the exact voltage they used.

I'll mess with it some more tomorrow, alittle too dark for me to do anything with it now. I plan on running some seafoam through it and changing the plugs maybe just maybe I can get this thing to run good :D.............................................I hope

I set my tps at .973 and now it is idling near perfect and I am still having the same problem as before but if I open the throttle slowly it will rev up but while driving I still cant make more than 5psi of boost I'm not sure where to go from here unless its something in the dist timing

edit: I installed an msd tfi coil but I dont think this has anything to do with it
