Car is stalling Help please
I recently installed a MBC and it's currently turned to stock boost levels around 20PSI. The car has not been tuned yet for the MBC alone but its been tuned for my TBE and cone filter.
Twice now my car has stalled on me while driving at low rpm's. I don't think its the battery cause that's working totally fine.
After it stalls I turn the key and it takes a while before it will finally start up again...
could it be the fuel pump? That would surprise me because Im not at high rpms when it stalls so the fuel should be available...
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

ok updates I think it was my coolant level, I had a coolant leak that I fixed and looked today at the coolant overflow tank and it was basically empty. The car is overheating. I added coolant but it is still overheating and the fan is working fine,
I'm going to try to add some more coolant directly to the radiator and see if that helps.

Updates: turns out it looks like it is indeed the radiator leak. New coolant added and holes patched up. Coolant temp is normal now. I will keep everyone updated in case someone else experiences this problem. Thanks

First off a BOV wouldnt make the car die lol....Secondly you could check your MAF Sensor...sometimes they can get dmaaged or clogged....or your MAP sensor those are comon problems when stalling at low RPM....If it were a fuel issue you would see it all across the powerband..

I was referring to the overheating of the coolant temps, noticed by the gauge. I have since leveled out at proper coolant levels, both in the tank and on the temperature gauge.
