Default Bad idle

Hey guys so I'm having trouble and I need help!!
I have a turbo 95 del sol, d16 block d15 head.
Car starts up and then drops rpms struggles to stay on then it dies.
If I try to drive it, after I take off the rpms will drop car will not go over 5 mph with my foot hard down. Any ideas? Thanks

Its going to be hard to give advice about a heavily modified car.. (no one here has ever SEEN it) but just a couple of basic diagnostic points.. Clean the throttle body plate completely (best to remove the throttle body entirely to get behind the plate and passages) and adjust the base Idle screw to increase air flow at idle. try that and see if it improves. oh . if its JUST at cold startup it may be a fast idle valve or clogged EACV as well. just check those items and maybe it will help..
