idle issue

lately after high load situations like launching or long pulls in peak boost the car doesnt like to idel after the car will hop from 500-1000 rpm for like 30 sec to a min if i give it a quick rev it will usually smooth back out any ideas as to what this could be mods are turbo back intake mbc bigger front mount

I had a similar issue before but it was after I overboosted. Is the car tuned, are the plugs gapped to far?

car has a base map in it. i dont think im over boosting the car peaks at 21-22 psi and tapers off to 18-19psi. last i checked the plugs were good they were gapped to .020 and i feel like it isnt a plug issue because it doesnt break up any other time only at idel and icant seem to find any vacume leaks

Sounds like it could be plug related. Thats a tight gap on the plugs. Im assuming you have a factory 8 bov?

Had a couple of evos i worked on had problems with the egr valve solenoid. it would stick after boost. Cause a rough idle after boost. The solenoid is in the back below the intake manifold. I would check that.
