Vacuum leak. Spray some carb cleaner around the top of the manifold and see if any of the plenum cover bolts are loose. Also could be a dirty idle air control valve.

Seems like they all do this after sitting for awhile. Just keep playing with acv and it will get there eventually.

 
ok so i was pulling air and got that fixed and the idle got fixed and is steady. The thing i am running into now is that i accelerate at the throttle body the car engine stumbles and you have popping noise at exhaust. i dont have an 02 sensor connected yet so i wanted to know what yall think? is it the 02 thats needed? thanks

I’m no expert but I’ll go out on a limb and say it needs an O2 sensor connected. 

Where was it sucking air?

 
For you guys running J35 engines 50/50 110/91. Stock long block with intercooler and turbo.  Any advantage to running all 110 or is the 50/50 fine as it?

I would check fuel pressure. If you rev it slowly does it still sputter?

Sorry, I run E85 with stock block turbo and intercooler.  8 years with zero issues (roughly 180 days of duning.

 
for the guys that have got their ecu/harness from harvey for their j35, is the o2 sensor necesary?

 
cuz im an idiot and overlooked it. when i went to see the car lol. honest answer

Don’t the type S have more of a performance can? Would it be worth it to swap j32 type s heads on a j35a4.

Yes, and larger valves, but the swap is typically cost prohibitive unless you have both engines.  Guy that have a turbo 32S that popped it will typically go to a 35A3/4 next and put the 32S heads on it.
