Hello mate

Firstly, don't do anything with the cold start injector, once the cars running it does nothing. It sounds like you have an air leak to be honest, what does the car idle at? Once its stalled, if you restart does it idle ok? Have you started it and left it idling to get up to temperature before you drive off?

I asked about starting it from cold just wondering. Start it up from cold and see if after about 1-2 mins it starts idling low and hunting. Its always best to let it run for at least a minute so before driving off, ideally let it get to temperature if you can, but thats not to do with the running but it will prolong the life of the turbo, as will let it run on before switch off.
