I have a turbo b16 setup that i just finished and once its warmed up when driving around when ever i get out of the throttle to slow down and the clutch is in the car shuts off on me. i was messing with the fuel pressure regulator taking the vacuum line off of the intake mani and when i do it doesnt die everytime i press in the clutch to slow down. it did once but not every single time like before. could this be that my fuel pressure regulator is bad or what else could cause this?

its just so hard for you to believe it works isnt it? i already did a slight pull to make sure it was boosting and i didnt have any vacuum leaks anywhere and i only took it to 6k, i was at 7 psi (full boost for how i have it setup) at roughly 4700 maybe 4800, not sure i couldnt tell cuz that bitch threw me back in my seat hard

its not when i get into it dies. its once the car is warmed up aka normal temp readings and im driving around completely normal ( shifting between 2500 to 3000 rpms) whenever i go to slowdown and i push the cluth in the car idles down on its own and doesnt stop. it just shuts off. when i cold start it its fine, it sits there and idles statys running then once warmed up and the throttle goes up as soon as there is no throttle at the normal operating temp it chokes out

Provide more details on the setup, and I could possibly tell you why, but more than likely its the set up. Do you have a light weight flywheel installed?
yes i have a lightwieght flywheel but nothing ridicolous like 8 or 9 lbs, its been a while but if i remember correctly it was an 11 lb flywheel that i put in. The setup is a stock b16 with a ramhorn mani with t3/t70 turbo, huge front mount with 2.5 inch intercooler piping, greddy bov and tial wastgate with 7 psi spring. Side port on the wastegate is run straight to the compressor housing on the turbo, top port on wastegate is left open. boost guage and bov are running off a blox vacuum mani. it has rc 550cc injectors and a walbro 255lph fuel pump. And a ecu tuned for a garret gt28 on b16 with same setup besides turbo and on a higher boost setting

Do you have a wideband to see your air fuel ratios? Its possibly leaning out, or it needs a little more timing at the bottom to keep it spinning due to the flywheel being lighter.

Its more than likely that his tune for the other turbo was when it was warm outside, and now that its cold, it is not getting enough fuel at idle, due to the ECT and IAT adjustments not being set up thoroughly for vast temp differences. I don't think the size difference of the turbos is going to make a big difference on fuel at idle. Of course it will make a big difference when the boost comes on.
