trouble, dont know why
trouble, dont know why
just want to know how to fix this, i m boosting 7 psi, and all is runnig well, but sometimes when stop accelerating and put into second shift or no speed the car just turn off, just turn off. the car only turn off afeter putting it to high speed and then stoping , only turn off when stoping . sorry about my english i am from guatemela
Boost leak sounds like your problem. Check the turbo, intake pipe, j-pipe and make sure the nipples are capped. Also, make sure your clamps are tight
I had the same problem and I went to the local auto parts store and bought the variety of vacuum caps. Fixed it right up!

so it is a boost leak, u hace some t-bolts on and somo normal, so change it all to t-bolts, the maf could it be?, so the leak is in the couplers or something alike?, when i disconnect the sensor it works fine

good couplers are a must (i still need to upgrade a few of mine)
but no point in the overkill on the couplers, unless price is about the same.
stalling could also be a fueling issue. hate to say it, but 4+ people saying boost leak, and not one saying fuel/tune? i know my car will flood out every once and while when i downshift, but i normally catch it and raise the revs a little.
(sorry i don't know your car better, but is this a new turbo install? or an old one that has been tuned and working fine for a while?)
-if it is tuned, and you havent been having any problems pervious to this, just ignore me.

A boost leak would be more possible. It would have to be a significant leak for it to stall out the car. However, if the fuel on deceleration was way to much, that could also stall out the car since it will give the same effects.
You can build a simple pressure tester for cheap and test the system for the leak. If none is found, tuning is the next place to look.
This is all taking into account you are not using a vta bov that is causing the problem

ok, im still not using a bov, could it be that?, i think maybe is the fuel, it oly make it in 2nd shift yesterday i try it in 3rd and all was ok. if accelerating the car more could help?, now the idle acceleration is under 1. also it is not throwing check engine light.
