Just installed downpipes, rough idle questions

I just installed catless downpipes. Easy install, but now I am having some issues with an incredibly rough idle. The car sputters and pops. I have a jb3 tune on it and when given gas the car smooths out and sounds nice. Any suggestions as how to fix this? The car sounds like its choking, obviously not getting enough fuel but how do I adjust that at idle?

On another note, has anyone ever replaced a turbo waste gate?

Did you reverse your o2 sensors? Sounds like you might have..

yup, definitely you reversed the o2 sensors.

PM if you want a JB4 with the G5 board and NLS/2step. You can get the Isolated boost control firmware as well (I'm trying to help a friend sell his).

The wire lengths are different - bank 2 (grey) is much shorter than bank 1 (black). Best to just unscrew them from the incorrect DP and reinstall properly.

Double check that they are plugged in properly. They are pretty resilient to damage.

Damaged o2 sensors generally throw a code.

Age, heat, "wear"? Could just be crappy and old.

You can use two bank one sensors - Bosch # 17098, available from many places online. The rear bank sensor, 17102 is much more expensive and harder to find.

I coded it out today, and it said bank one o2 sensor incorrect. Same for bank 2. So you guys were right. Thank you for all the help now the car is running like a champ!
