Car is stalling when trying to accelerate

[jrpmp69]

Yesterday while i was driving home, there was a 3g eclipse next to me on the street and i kept reving my 98 eclipse GST and letting go to make the swoosh sound with the bov, i did this about 3 or 4 times and then all of a sudden when i tried to accelerate the car keeped stalling as if the fuel was cutting off, so i steped on the accelerator even more and i looked at the boost gauge and whenever it stalled the needle kept jumping from 15 to 20 to 25 psi. and also backfired a litle bit. I have no idea what is causing this and would like to know if there is anyone that could help me identify my problem, i dont know what the symptoms of compressor surge are but its one of my guesses.

Check for a boost leak. It's not compressor surge-- that's just when the BOV doesn't close properly and air gets bounced back into the turbo's compressor blades, making a ch-ch-ch kind of sound.

Sounds to me like you may have blown off the return tube for the BOV. I had this happening to me for a short while, everytime it'd come off the car would stall if I left it in neutral and wouldn't accelerate for crap. Sounds like you may have blown that off or an entire IC pipe, check for leaks and fix them appropriately.

I found my problem, it turned out to be the TPS plug not being plugged in properly. Found this out after going to Autozone and using their OBD2 scan tool.
Thanks for your help.
