Stalling problems

I think the MAF being to close could be the issue... Now I want to move mine out farther to see if that works...
Mine stalls whether the BOV is recirculated or not so I'm pretty sure it ain't that either. It also did not stall before the turbo but it could be a small idle issue that was agravated by the turbo system, don't think so though.
Now about the MAF.... hmmm.... maybe I'll try with some 3" hose and move the MAF as far away from the compressor as possible just to test it out. If it's that I'll remake my intake piping. But first I need to get rid of this freaking exhaust leak problems.

Hey dudes I know why your cars are dying under normal idle if you go to the trottle body of you car there is a small hose that comes off the bottom. it normally is connected to your in take. This has a small bb inside of it and is a negative pressure line when your throttle body is closed a vacumm is put on this line to let a small amount of air into the intake so the car does not choke out. Thats why some of you guys are half *** correcting it by raising the idel on the throttle body make sure that tha tubing is in the intake perferably before boost if possable. so it get the right amount of negative pressure at idle................. Then take it for a run and it should correct its self.......... Good luck.......

ive always wondered about that small hose. you are talking about the smallest hose right? it comes out from somewhere under the TB and a little to the left if you looking at it from the front. i have had this plugged, and i have also tried running it into my ic piping. so your saying to run this to the intake before the turbo? or could i just leave it open. i was just worried that i would get boost leak out of that hose because i didnt know what it went to. but thanks man. wow, i will be so happy if this fixes the problem.

This tube is what the intake uses to breath while the throttlebody is closed. you need to put it back into the intake so it gets clean filtered air it also need negative pressure to open and close........ if you put it in your mouth and blow you can here click and closed and if you suck on it it clicks and opens trust me it will run better if its back in the intake..... and like I said perferably before boost.

well i tried it today and it didnt fix the problem. i think it may have helped it though. i took it up to about 3k and shifted to N and it didnt stall or drop below normal idle. but i took it up to 4 or 5k in 2nd and 3rd gear and shifted to N and the rpm's droped below 500 and i quickly gave it some gas. i dont know if it helped or not because i havent driven it much but i think it did. but it did not fix the problem completely. i connected the small hose into the larger crankcase breather hose right before the intake with a connector. this was easier than drilling a hole in my intake. this would be the same as having it into the intake wouldnt it?

Know you need to adjust your idle control valve to get it just right because i'm sure you have made all kinds ofd adjustments in th passed trying to figgure out the problem....F.Y.I I'm talking about the one on the back of the manifold not the one by the throttle body counter clockwise is more idle clockwise is less.....

well i fixed my stalling problem.. i think. i converted to a blow-through type mafs. and that seemed to fix it. the rpms never droped below 1000 while i drove it today. (my idle is set a little over 1000) i guess the recirculated bov air wasnt all getting back into the engine. but now im having problems with my mafs. i think i have a bad connection at the plug. today my car started running like sh*t and barely going past 2k rpm. i pulled over and wiggled the wires and plug on teh mafs and it started running better. i guess i have to find a new mafs plug.
