Post Low idle/car turns off
When i bought the car my car would idle norm and sometimes idle high. So at MOD i got a RFL bov. After the event installed the new bov since my old bov wasnt opening. I also notice the power cable was barely hanging on the positive power terminal. I bought a new terminal and installed it with the new BOV. Now my car idles low and when i gun it the car randomly turns off. It turns off while im driving and sometimes when i come to a complete stop.

One thing I notice is when im building boost I randomly feel the power. I hear the turbo but the car doesnt move but I do hear the BOV.

I might think its something fuel related....
Erix looked at my car tonight and he suggested it might be fuel related.....

I guess ima replace the fuel filter, then fuel pump. then take it from there

Did you do a boost leak test after the bov install?

Is the bov recircalated?, also check the MAF connection if its good. Definately do a boost leak test also.

Big thanks to Clint for extending his hand to help me out. I really appreciate the help. Found few major boost leaks.
