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

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
