random stalls..

[raku]

lately(in the past three days) my car has just started stalling at random times. my boost gauge was installed right around that time , could this be attributed to a boost leak, i am getting 6.5 psi or a little more or less on my gauge...so i dont think its leaking. it is also almost time for an oil change, could this be it? i doubt it but just wondering...nothing else has touched the engine of my car. these stalls have almost caused three wrcks around turns haha.

i noticed the same problem with my buddies car that I'm driving right now. It only happens immediatley after boosting and then letting off right away, if you ease off the gas it wont stall.

hes got a MBC, joe p FPR, and boost gauge.


and warped rottors.....

where did you tap in your vaccum line for your boost gauge?

maybe you and my friend used a bad source?

intake manifold...

 

[98turboteg]

right, but where on the IM, there are several vaccum sources.

well i tapped it where many people on this forum have tapped it
so im pretty sure i did it right im gonna secure the vacuum lines even tight with cable ties to make sure thats not it

Unless there is a leak somwhere, or you stopped the vacume flow somewhere, this install should not cause this problem.

i just turned the Boost down to around 9 - 9.5 lbs,(was 10) and it doesnt stall anymore.

Maybe, just maybe ... like a dumbass I overtightened the hoseclamp to the BPV on the turbo -> IC pipe and actually partially collapsed the plastic. It was causing a leak just like a BOV would, but all the time (bad bad bad)... and I was stalling after boost. So, fixed it and now it's fine...
