One thing that's confusing is where you say you have a blitz bov (blow off valve) and you turn it up? Do you mean you lessened the tension on the spring so it let air out easily? Or do you mean you have a boost controller and turned that up?

If you have the blow off valve, the problem is that. It's venting air to the atmosphere that the ECU thinks is going into the engine, and it is adding fuel to compensate... but since that air ISN'T in the engine, there is too much fuel, and it is flooding the engine, causing you to stall...

The best way to fix it is to go back to a recirculating bov as it was when it was standard, but then you lose the noise that comes with a bov.

Hope this helped a bit :P

yes it must have been lessening the tension...as it was that hssssh noise i was after, sorry im tryn to explain best as i can...but when i went to him today, all i said was put the blow off valve back to the way it was...but as i said he said, basically the BOV is stuffed, somthing like that an that he had blocked it, i assume so the air cant get out, no hsssss, hey all i want was it to stop stalling...thanx you for your advice though,,but its hard...as i say to my machanic...i know nothing about cars...but i know how my car feels and drives..

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
