did you check to make sure the MAF harness didnt come unplugged or maybe 1 of the ECU plugs werent fully clipped when you put the ECU back in after the flash. When was the last time you did any modification to it??

Sounds like one of your intercooler pipes popped off.. It seems to happen to everyone on occasion.. Even stock cars have this happen on occasion..

Ive been in my buddies evo when the IC pipe at the TB popped off, It didnt just die until he coasted for a second with low RPM's and when it did die, we were able to start it but it would die immediatly afterwards. I would definatly check it tho, its just one more thing you can check off the list.

did u check your fuses?
when i installed my test pipe, the o2 sensor wires fried from the heat, which made one of the fuses to blow....maybe that could be one reason

Id check your fuses. You were going around a corner at a good pace when this happened so it's possible that a wire shifted and grounded itself which popped the fuse.
