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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
