Car stalling while driving with new turbo

hi all, 

i just replaced my turbo on my gtt from factory turbo to Garrett gt 30/76 internals on my factory housing. 

when i drive at a rpm over 3k and put it in neutral the revs will go all the way down till the engine stops.

does anyone have any idea why this could be ? 

thank you  

factory pipe work.. could be leak somewhere..

Are you running any wanky BOV? or is everything stock except the turbo?

Also it might be overboosting because the turbo has a larger actuator on it.. not ECU related.

It's a factory bov but it is blocked of to re-curc and I have a front mount intercooler other than that its stock

there's your problem :)

The pressure is also going through the air flow meter backwards. The ecu sees this as additional air flow and injects more fuel. On some cars with air flow meters this causes stalling problems on others just rich running, unless the ecu has been tuned for it. Try unblocking and see what happens. Im sure dosepipe will correct me if im wrong :banana:

Also i might add, 

the reason i changed the turbo is because the factory one shit itself but when it went out there was a bit of oil around the intake hoses, so i was wondering if some of that oil would have gotten on the AFM. 

should i remove it and clean it with contact cleaner? @admS15 @Dose Pipe Sutututu

ok so i there is nothing the bov is doing to the stalling, 

but we did rasie the idle a tad so the car has stopped stalling and also must of fixed the over boosting problem. 

a new ECU is defs on my list but money wise it is not going to happen very soon. 

and whats a nistune board? easy install and pricey? @GTSBoy

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
