N55 rough start and idle

anyone know what would cause start ups and idles to be this rough? mods - bms intake, catless dp, PR coils, charge pipe. no tune or mhd yet. also have a vavletronic malfunction code which could be part of the problem. anything helps. start up video

Not sure if this is your problem, but I don't think you want to run PR coils without adjusting dwell times in the tune - MHD has a flash time option you can select for this. Also, that BMS intake will mess with your MAF readings unless you adjust for it in the tune. If it was my car, I'd remove the BMS intake, and get MHD to flash the correct coil option (or go back to stock coils). And definately look into the valvetronic codes.
