So my rb started this new thing where it likes to stall out when taking low speed turns. it feels the same as when it used to stall when i was running an open BOV and would let the revs drop too fast. anyways, it only happens when im taking low speed turns and have let off the gas to slow down, like when pulling into a parking space. any ideas? i don't think its a boost/vac leak as the car runs fine the rest of the time. is there any power steering sensor that tells the ecu to idle up or anything like that? i'm thinking the power steering pump is dragging the engine down and nothing is telling it to idle up to keep from stalling. any ideas would be helpful.

it was a boost leak. one of the vacume caps popped off the manifold. whoops. at least it was an easy fix. still strange that the car ran fine and idled fine. oh well!

it's similar to a decel stall with an open chamber BOV.
