have u got a intercooler , hiflo?????? if so ,its probably all the air goin back thru ur setup and passin back thru the afm , the afm registers the air , so it dumps a heap of fuel , which inturn nearly stalls ur car and the revs die down.

i'm not sure if this will work but if the air flow meter is reading all the air in the intercooler and piping maybe u cud put the afm after the intercooler so it isn't reading all that air. this might work but it might also cause more problems.

I used to get that but It's fine now that I have aftermarket ECU. Doesn't even do it now and it's 2x the boost.
