Its the BOV

Either get a full tune and try tune it out, OR put the stock BOV on

AFM could be a bit dirty etc

Leaky Vac hose perhaps

many things are possible if the stock BOV doesnt fix it

Make sure your neutral switch is working correctly and have you tried resetting the ecu? Once you have done a base reset, then take the car for a spirited run and get it to relearn all its base settings again. You may notice an improvement in fuel economy at the same time.

AFM is that black box that the pod usually screws too. it has an electrical plug coming off it.

unscrew your pod filter, and disconnect the AFM from plug. then unscrew the hose clamp clamping the AFM to the flexible intake pipe.

pull out the AFM. Now spray it with CO Contact Cleaner bought from dick smith. try and clean out the inside as well with a rag as best u can. but i dont think u should go touching the elements too much (i very carefully just like dabbed mine with a cloth to get a bit of the oil off the white strip one, but upto you). best just to spray quite a bit with co contact then leave to sit in the sun to dry it up.

now just put it back together.

....this may be whats causing stall....but i'd put my money on ur non stock BOV

another retard with a ATMO BOV asking why his car stalls.

Sell your car and forget about buying turbo'd cars if you have no idea why this is happening.

Just interested to know: did the stock bov fix your problem?
