I had this problem before. I ended having to up the idle within the ecu. It'll still bog during cold starts, and having the AC on while driving can cause it too. You main deal isn't just the BOV, but your cams. My cosworth 272 cams do it and if I leave my car alone in the cold, it'll stall out.
Problem is common. Up the idle, let the damn thing warm up.

Other things I would check is your tps, check to make sure the voltage is within specs, your idle control valve I know mine went bad, and if that fails to find error, check your biss screw to make sure it isn't leaking and make sure it is not screwed in to far or to short. Those are simple things I have had to do in the past and it can't hurt. If you need the specs for the tps lmk I'll post them for you.

who tuned the car?
and how long ago did they tune it?
im think it might be your tune. im sure if you bring it to your tuner he can spot out your problem. that way you can rule that out.

I don't have a stock set of cams, or the time to do so really. The car is my daily. I'm thinking about bumping my idle a bit with ecuflash just to see if it helps at all

Have the same issue as the OP. Seems to be a cold start issue. car starts, warms up fine, then after I start driving for a while, when I come to a stop it dies. Push in the clutch, RPM's drop to the floor and die.
Drives perfectly fine, i guess. Boost and all. Car won't start again unless I give it gas and hold it.
Been dealing with this issue for some time. funny thing is, Sometimes it goes away and I think I've fixed it, until months later it pops back up.
SUX. Any more suggestions? Going to try the evoscan fix today or tomorrow.
