Angry idle issues?? please help!!

Hey guys, just tonight my car died. I went to turn the front windshield defroster on and when i was in the middle of shifting from first to second it died. I started the car back up and the idle was lower than normal, it also had a jittery feel to it. Any suggestions on what it might be? Will tune fix the problem?
Sorry, one more thing, planning on getting a GFB BOV. does it cause any problems or should i stick with the Evo 9 BOV.
Thanks!

Did you recently diconnect your battery? I had the same problem the other day. Everytime I would come to a stop and hold the clutch in it would die. I guess your ECU has to re-learn itself. Give it a day of driving and you should be fine.

Most people will tell you to stick with the ix DV like kstpeter33 did. but I had a friend he used the Greddy DV and he said the response is better than his ix dv.
As far as your idle issue, did you turn the stock dv and vent it open? and what are your mods?

look for a boost leak from the throttle body to the turbo and check your couplers and clamps.
