Car is stalling when I come to as stop, after boost.
THe Iac is only 1 year old. When I get on it, and come to a sudden stop, Idle jumps a bit, and car shuts off. Starts right back up, but this is dangerous. I was going to make a turn onto the highway, and car shut down, could barely turn in time.... Is it the BOV or the tune? Thanks

I've been having the same problem for awhile now. I'm running a Hellion single turbo setup and it seems like every time I get on it hard then let off all the way or brake immediately, the car dies. I've been trying to figure it out for awhile now. I have a couple ideas of what it could be. I thought it might be because the IAC, even if it's working properly, can't compensate for such a larger volume of air moving through the intake piping and then it dropping off quickly when you let off the gas pedal. To fix it I thought about making the setscrew on the throttle body stick out a little farther to keep the butterfly open a little bit more at idle, then disconnecting the battery to reset the idling parameters in the ECU, then letting the car sit and run for about 15 minutes to re-learn the idle. I figure that this might take some of the burden off of the IAC to properly idle the car by letting a little more air than normal flow through the throttle body itself. Maybe somebody on here can give us a little bit more of a concrete answer than just my speculation
that is common with a draw thru setup on these cars. happened to me with a vortech kit and the hellion kit. both setups were done by different tuners. Finally I found a tuner that knows what hes doing at Speedy Dyno. He tuned my hellion kit and I have not once died. I told him about it before he started tuning and he knew exactly what i was talking about. The only thing he told me that he did different was raise the idle rpm a little bit. I think he increased it 50rpm
Sounds like you're just getting blower surge to me. Are your by-pass valves the correct size and properly installed. If they're adjustable are they adjusted correctly?
If the problem is when you're getting off the gas - (and it runs fine any other time) sounds like blower surge.
