i have had my car for a week now and for the past 2 days every once in a while when i slow down to stop at a light or make a turn, the car up and dies. it doesent happen 2 times in a row or under the same curcumstanses. the car isnt even stopped when it happens, it always happens when i put my foot on the clutch to slow down or downshift. the rpms drop real fast and then it just dies. also when i rev the motor up at all out of gear or with my foor on the clutch when it comes back to idle it bogs down a little, then picks back up to 750-800. i lowered the boost from 17 psi to 14 psi the other day and have been having problems since. but the only thing i touched was the boost controller. i dont know whats goin on with this thing.
 
Could be one of the 3 sensors in the throttle body. For now you can just idle your car up. Do you have a CEL on?
 
I would check the easy things first. Is the BISS screw still there? Then check the resistances of the ISC servo. A bad ISC servo will not set an error code.
