Having issues with my evo 8

I'm having issues with my evo 8 shutting off on me when I have the a/c blowing and I'm turning the corner or making a stop pushing the clutch in.
The car is venting out of the air intake recirculated with the aem with no bov.
I've owned the car for only 6 months and it's driving me crazy and it only does it when the a/c is on,it also is idleing at about 1000 or so. Does anybidy know what could be wrong.

I would like to see a picture of this.

Is this a new problem or you bought the car like that?

I would have to drive it to see exactly what it's doing. It almost sounds like you are describing 2 different issues.

It's only one issue I had to raise up the idle screw a bit in order for it not to shut off on me when the a/ c is on but now it just shuts off on my when I push in the clutch and either I'm going to downshift, turn or anything when the a/c is on. For I feel like the computer is no compensating to raise the idle or keep it at 950 or rpm when you push in the clutch and your rolling. If the a/ c is on and it is at a stop it idles fine.

It's in the tune. Get with tscomptuned or some other good tuner on here.

Messing with the screw doesn't properly adjust idle. U need too do that through the ecu and rpm needs to be adjusted for rpm. Tscomp is really good with that. And I'm not understandin what u mean by no bov

Sounds to me like the desired idle rpm with a/c on is too low and with the extra load of steering the wheel your rpm's are dropping to a point below which the car can idle. My car would stall the second i turned the a/c on when I installed my cams. Went into ecuflash and set my idle with a/c on 200 rpm higher or so and have never seen an issue since. A couple hundred RPM makes a big difference. You need to reflash your ecu.

Im having the same issue when AC is on. I had English Racing tune it and couldnt fix it. They recommended that I clean the throttle body thinking it was junked up. I would love to get this fixed as well.

I also bought a new iac it made it a bit better but when I have my a/c on and I come to a stop to a light or a turn it try's to shutoff I idle at 1000 warm and no a/c but with a/c it goes to 750 to 850
I will be getting a tune to seen if that will fix it but I want to make sure before that I can't fix it on my own.
