RB25 NEO: Rebuild Problems.. Ignition timing? HELP PLEASE

I Have an R34 GT N/A and I rebuilt it and converted the working engine With:
-CP Neo forged pistons
-Manley Rods
-Garret Gt3071r DDB Turbo
-Series 2 stock fuel rail and injectors
-Series 2 exhaust manifold
-SplitFire Neo coils
- New iridium NGK Plugs 
-255 Walbro Fuel Pump
-Freddy Forward Facing intake
-Stock GTT R34 NEO Turbo ECU
-Many Many more....

After my conversion build with all new parts, i primed it and started on the first Crank. 

CURRENT STATUS:
-Crank and starts instantly every single time and runs only when applying throttle  

THE PROBLEMS

- Sounds great however it if you do not apply throttle and leave her idle, she is struggle to breathe and stutters and will die
- Jumps up and down the rev range by her self 
- Cannot find a decent idle and when she does its not for long
- After reeving and she goes back down she dies
- Sometimes when reeving she break up on her own

SOLUTIONS/TROUBLE SHOOTING 

- TPS sensor needed to be adjusted to get the right Ohms. After we fixed it it seemed to be more consistent when reeving and staying and holding at an RPM's and slightly better idling.

- Idle air Controller,  adjusted the screw and tried over 10 positions, although it actually really helped idling it still did not cure the dying at idle problem and finding a good idle problem.

NEXT STEP (tomorrow) 

Take a look at the base/ignition timing with a timing light to the notches on the crank pulley and adjust it with the CAS sensor?

DOES ANYONE HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH IGNITION TIMING? HOW DO I DO IT PROPERLY? WHAT DO THE NOTCHES INDICATE? WHAT NOTCH DO I WANT TO BE AT?
 

ANY ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED

There is a good guide on timing in this thread. BUT use the no 1 spark lead not the loop at the back of the engine.

You will need a Nistune chip in your ecu, a better AFM and probably better injectors.

I take it you have properly cleaned your idle valve and have your BOV plumbed back and not venting to atmosphere.

UPDATE: for anyone who may be interested and can learn from this in the future....

It was MY Idle Air controller unit and it also being not having the vacuum lines  plumbed correctly.
After this a few test drives, adjusting the idle air screw and letting the ECU learn, i am almost completely sorted

      Not a problem at all Lithium, I appreciate your help regardless. I've pulled a small part of a log where the target pressure was 28psi and it spiked to 36.4psi. I've only just begun using Data Log Viewer so if I'm sending this in the wrong format let me know.

      Sorry had a bit of a week and haven't had heaps of time to follow this, so apologies if I've missed something - any chance of showing a log with the rpm, turbo speed, MAP, and wgdc all in one view? Definitely an "interesting" problem, and while it's definitely worth noting that there was a similar issue with the twins I'd not completely put all bets on the root cause being the same thing.  Keep an open mind, follow the data.

      I built this engine approximately 12 years ago so my own head (brain) is a little grey on the exact hardware in the RB head, however what I recall is. Stock RB25 NEO TURBO Intake Camshaft HKS 260 degree Exhaust Camshaft (R34 GTR) RB25 NEO Turbo Springs  I ported/removed the exhaust stud humps found in the RB25 head so theres less turbulence but it wasn't ported/polished properly, just a hump removal. I've attached two pictures of the before and after to illustrate.     The ECU gets its boost reference from the nipple on the rear of the head on the intake side, behind the fuel rail. The wastegate gets its boost reference from a nipple on the cooler pipe immediately after the comp cover.  Could a decent pressure drop across the intercooler cause the wastegate to be seeing a higher PSI than what the ECU is seeing, and thus it can't control it accurately and quick enough?   We ran a line to the actuator and watched it open and close using an air compressor, while we didn't have a gauge on the line to see when it was cracking open, it was opening smoothly.  I just removed the gate now and even though the documentation says you need to open it in a vice due to preload (which I did), there wasn't any preload on the cap, which is something we noticed straight out of the box as well when new. This silver cap internally is threaded to the actuator rod that runs out the bottom of the straightgate. Not sure how I'm supposed to get this spring out to be frank.. Potentially but everyone else doesn't appear to have to stop at 500kw because of 6boosts design.  I would, but I think I'm getting to that point where if I'm going to do the head and make another 100kw, then I'm going to need a fancy gearbox and quite a few other things and 10k becomes 20k becomes 30k within a few months. I'm not necessarily sold on the idea just yet that the head is restrictive at 4000rpm (and what.. 300kw?) and yet doesn't seem to be restrictive at 7000rpm when it's making 500kw, however I'm obviously not closing the door on that theory.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.

      My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it.
