Stalling problem when coming to a stop.
My car will sometimes stall as I approach a stop sign, stop light, or just when I simply slow down. Has anyone else experienced this problem? My car seems to run fine most of the time as long as I'm not coming to a stop or trying to slow down. It has always felt like it's wanted to die but now with my current mods it does. My mods are, full turbo back exhaust with cat-delete, injen cold air intake with hard-pipe, and a greddy type-s bov. Why is my car doing this? It currently has about 12.5k miles on it.

Try the stock BOV, check for leaks and make sure all the vacuum lines are connected. I doubt it's the Injen intake kit since my friend and I just installed one yesterday and we don't have any problems.
Or
It might need a light tune up: new spark plugs.

If you are recirculating then it might be a leak.
Put the stock BOV back on and see if this still happens. Also check you MAF and make sure the connections are good etc.

I was told that if I wanted to VTA all I have to do is cap off the outlet to the intake tract which looks pretty simple even for me. When I had it installed they asked me if I wanted it to recirculate for a quieter sound or to VTA for a louder sound. I dunno....anyways I haven't done the spring mod yet, didn't even think about that until you mentioned it. I'll try that before doing anything else. Thanks again for the help everyone!!

Yeah its just about the sound level you want...
You havent read the posts on VTA BOV's vs. diverters?

too hard
your valve spring is to hard----change to a softer and then adjust the screw so it just closes completely at idle. i had the same problem....
its too rich when you lift because the valve is not opening to allow the air back into the intake stream,,,which has already been compensated for by the ecu...
