XT engine swap - starts but won't idle/run

got the XT running. it's an XT Turbo but i swapped a non turbo EA82 in it.

 

now i finally got it started but it won't idle or run right. have to keep pressing the gas pedal down/up to keep it going or it sputters out.

 

maybe the idle needs adjusted since i went from turbo to non-turbo intake and motor?

 

could the turbo waste gate thingy or the turbo pressure thingy cause this, i don't believe so?

 

pretty sure the vaccuum lines and air intake are all solid.

car cuts out before i can play with the idle adjust screw though.

any tricks to get this thing running at least?

 

the AAV - auxiliary air valve - how does that thing work?
