The weirdest thing happened to me yesterday. My car was working fine, perfectly. I just had the timing belt, water pump, alternator belt, and spark plugs changed like 3-4 weeks ago. Then all of a sudden the idle went crazy, going up and down. When i hit the gas it just it stalled and sounded like it was gonna turn off. Then a loud POP sound came fromk the exhaust. I think there's a misfire in the engine. So im taking it tomorrow the the shop that changed all my other parts. What do you guys think it is? Engine misfire? The turbo going bad?
 
Have you checked the condition of the spark plugs? I know they are new but that doesn't mean that they are not gaped incorrectly or the wrong temp plug for what you are running.
 
I havent checked yet. I took it to the mechanic today so let's see what he says. Thanks for the input bro.
 
The only mods I have are the following:

AWR Solid Motor Mounts
Short RAM Intake Pipe Silicone Intake Air Filter
Straight Exhaust Pipe from downpipe back Catalytic Converter deleted
Newer NGK Spark Plugs
New Coil Packs
New Ignition wires
MAF sensor relocated to cold pipe
Front mount intercooler
