Dying and PCV

Do your cars almost die everytime you get into boost then go into neutral? I will get into boost around 5kish, and if i get off the gas and go to neutral the rpm drops to around 200 if not dies completely. It like catches itself at a very low rpm then kicks up again. Also, i cannot get my PCV valve to stop popping off i replaced it, no change, any ideas?

This is your problem.

It not wise to use a VTA (vent to atomosphere) BOV on a MAF equipped car. (disregard this is you have your HKS BOV setup to recirculate)

A tune can solve "some" of that...could be boost leaks also. Mine has been tested and tuned and it still happens, I just learn to put it in gear and pop the clutch to start it back up if/when it dies, roughly 1-2 times a day, i expect no less from the Evo tho
