When my boost hose from the intercooler had a small leak, I had similar problems... FYI

slowlude22 is infamous around these parts

Back from the dead, but what was the issue here?

I'm having a very similar problem with my turbo. Thanks.

Probably a vac line leak or some other line off.

not a guru but try disconnect the battery for 5 minutes or more the DME will go back to it's basic program. It will then re-learn to your driving style and maybe adapt to your new mods
good luck

I had a very similar problem when my revs dropped sometimes the car would just die. I remember a specific off ramp where this happened a few times at the exact same spot. I would go from 3rd to neutral and it would just die heading straight into a corner which was a bit scary. I switched to a mafless tune by protomotive about 6 months ago and haven't had the car die since. Also car runs much smoother.

Had the same problem earlier this year. Sometimes when i'm coming to a stop, when i depressed the clutch, the car would shut off. It got worse overtime. Replaced the MAF sensor but it didn't help. It turned out to be the throttle body. It needed cleaning! Buy a bottle of throttle body cleaner, clean the throttle body and the inside flap well. You will find some grease/oil there. Since then, no more problems, car idles smooth and it doesn't shut off anymore. Hope this helps!

I ran a boost pressure test and it's holding fine. I'll try cleaning the TB.

I'm running a LWFW on an older evoms gt640 setup. I assume there might be a tune update that would help as well. Thanks for the tips.

I replaced the brake or clutch switch under by the pedals.. i have an extra ill look for part number.. that fixed the issue about 70%... I got the TB replaced and everything else cleaned in that area by the dealer and everything was 99% good from there on..It only happened as is once in awhile so it never really bothered me, but it was sometime in the worse moments.

I had the UMW flash and UMW lwfw kit.
