WRX V6 revving troubles after failed DP change

Hey Guys!

 

Long time no post, haven't been in the Subaru game since I sold my Legacy (mega regret)

 

So my mate has a WRX V6. 

He bought a downpipe from TM and we went to fit it a couple of weekends ago. While we were at it, replaced the exhaust manifold gaskets and also the turbo-downpipe gasket.

New downpipe was installed, but didn't line up with the mid pipe at all so a dud. 

Long story short, went back to factory downpipe (with new gasket) and bolted everything back up.

 

When driving, changing from 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 clutch is pushed in, but revs would keep revving higher (as if the accel pedal was in, but it wasn't)

O2 sensor on factory DP hooked back up, downpipe - midpipe all snug and fitted. Could it be that 1 nut from the turbo-downpipe is mysteriously missing?

 

Is this a common issue? or something to do with mis-bolting something back up? or that 1 nut that mysteriously went missing so 4/5 is attached from TB-DP?

hmm okay okay

Thank you @RaKid and @Gripless will have to go through everything and make sure accel cable is all good and tps sensor plugged.

 

The car was running completely fine before this failed DP install so might have knocked something or moved something.

 

in other news..

does anyone have the nut that goes on the the turbo - downpipe bolt?

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
