Steering Wheel locks Up!

Has anyone had this problem, sometimes when i drive the evo, the steering wheel locks up and the steering becomes very stiff and hard to turn. when i pull over, shut the engine off, then start it back on again, everything is normal again. can anyone tell me whats going on?
current mods are hks ssqv (vents into atmosphere) hks eids, hks tt

Probably you're about to stall?

my flux capacitor was having problems the other day, it pissed the hell out of me... I had to drive in a circle around and around to get back to the present... Stupid cheap technology, I'm gonna upgrade to the HKS Flux Capacitor, Mitsu's stock one sucks, and it leaks a lot too

Im almost positive it is because you have your valve venting.. the car is wanting to stall out on you (and me be doing so quickly) when you slow down and let the rpms drop/are taking a turn.. the wheel is locking because the rpms are kicking down... recirculate the valve......

Ok, sorry, funny time is over... Yeah, chances are it's the venting valve, so, aznflip's post is probably right
