Default stalling when up to temp?

just finished turboing my cab and it starts and drives fine but after 5-10 mins it stalls when stopping at lights or if you put the clutch down straight after accelerating.

if i then try and start it i need to use accelerater a lot to get it to start and it wont idle itself i have to keep the revs up.

anyone had a problem like this?

all i can think of is a problem with metering head?

all help appreciated people

Probably your dump valve mate.

If not check there isnt an air leak in one of your boost hoses and that dipstick is pushed in properly

Mine was doing the exact same thing. The little oil breather filter box by the inlet manifold was a bit dodgy and was leaking air, so i replaced it with one i found on an xr3i. Also the dipstick had popped out, could have been either thing really. I was a bit frightened, thought it was something serious!
