Well first off I would like to start by saying that I just recently got back into DSM's for the first time in about 5 years so I'm feeling like its gonna be a learning process all over again.
I just recently bought a 1995 Eclipse Gsx with the following mods:
3" turboback exhaust(larger O2 housing)
Intake(not sure what kind/brand)
Apexi avc-r Boost controller (i have no clue if this thing is set up correctly)
HKS ssqv Blow off valve
Hard intercooler piping on hot side i believe

I did a few searches and found a couple of threads with a few people having similar problems with the car stalling either idling or during deceleration. Some responses were either the IAC or possibly a boost leak. I just wanted to get some opinions on whether my situation would be similar. Or if the Boost controller would be playing any part of that.

I was in 2nd gear and did a full throttle run up to about redline then let off and started coasting and the car had trembled and then stalled. If I hold on the gas a little it will keep it from stalling and then be ok.

If anyone has any ideas on where I could start looking I would appreciate it. I hope I didn't leave anything out. Thanks.
 
+1 on the vented BOV. You can get a recirculation kit for the HKS SSQ from a few of the vendors. Its just an insert that goes in the bov with a lip for a tube to fit on. I'm running one myself. Its not very expensive, and pretty easy to install.
 
Hey all thanks for the replies. Yeah the HKS BOV is vented so I was wondering if that would cause it. But i've seen a lot of cars with them vented and they seem to run fine, but I guess I'll either get a 1g BOV for the time being or just go ahead and order the recirc. kit. Thanks again!
