Lift off, car wants to stall.

I have been having trouble with my car when i lift off the gas. The RPMs fall down to 400 and the oil light blinks on then they climb up again. I can't figure out what is causing this and it gets really annoying especially with the ac on because it happens more frequently. The car however has not stalled from this. I'm thinking about going to the dealership and just let them figure it out. Please chime in guys.

Thanks

It is actually when I let off and depress the clutch to get the car out of gear when im coming to a stop. I do a lot of rev matching when I come to a stop so I don't see it happening much but I get lazy rev matching 60-100 miles a day locally.

I was reading one thread about somebody having issues with a big turbo and someone else posted that they were having the same issue and what they did was clean the MAF sensor and it went away.

I was thinking about the bov too. I know mine did it when one of my intercooler pipes was loose. Did a boost leak test on it and fix the problem

if you are running an atmospheric bov this could be your problem , the maf counts are getting thrown off.

It's your intake...
My car used to do the same thing, I put my airbox back on and now it's fine. It also got rid of 99% of my comp surging as well.

No it didn't. You just can't hear it now.
