Most likely a tuning issue. Who is tuning your car? What cams are you running? Stock engine?

Is it "lift your foot off throttle, revs drop until engine dies"? Could just be BOV related if you're still running an AFM?

most likely a tuning problem, the same thing happens to me every now and then but it doesnt completely die (just comes really close). Personally I just watch for it and blip the throttle a bit to pick the revs up and then you'll be okay. If your more concerned about it, talk to your tuner.

Are you running the stock diverter valve or aftermarket? I've heard of people having this issue with VTA blow off valves.
