Vacuum leak? 2013 Brz

[Ninimodz]

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and new to cars. I purchased a 2013 Brz with the intent to learn more about cars and work on it. It's been a golden car, runs great but after some time I noticed some weird things that I think all revolve around the same issue. It has some work done to it, turbo, fuel pump etc. I can provide all upon request. The symptoms, at first I noticed (usually after a pull) would be a weird smell, like something burning? Then I got a check engine light (also traction control light turned on) with the code p0441 Evap Emission System Incorrect Purge flow. The guy I bought it from said it was because of the tune (ecutek) and it can't be tuned out. Then I noticed upon starting the car, the RPM's change from about 1500 down to 750ish then idles at about 1k. When reversing, I've stalled out once or twice (and almost stalled out a lot) with the clutch pushed in. I assume it's some kind of vacuum leak, but I don't know where to start looking for it. I am new to working and learning about cars and mods so don't yell at me. Any ideas?

I suggest you take it to a tuner and ask him to straighten it up.
