ok so here's what my problem is everytime i take my car on the track and get into a drift and spin out or sudden stops ...(not on purpose) my car stalls out even if push the clutch in it stalls out....is there a common cause for that ? other then that my car runs tip top great for daily driven and everything....... has pretty good idle .. i have an event coming up soon and would like to have this figured out if anyone has any input that would be great ....thx

keep more than 2 gal of gas in the tank?

seriously, it sounds like its fuel starving...i always do events with atleast as starting tank of 3/4 full or better.

Make sure you BOV isn't dumping to atmosphere and its recirculated,unmetered air get let out,ecu adds the same amount of gas every time,rich condition=car stalling,black smoke out of the tail pipe and smell of gas.

sounds more like a boost leak, make a tester and check.

show up a picture of your air intake and MAF setup....chances are the MAf could be too close to the turbo and its picking up feedback....i had the same issue with mine...just a thought
