Default partial throttle stall?

hey guys, Im started having some trouble recently. When ever I partially accelerate, as in 5-12psi, with like 50 percent throttle, if I let off the gas, the car jerks really bad. I believe that I have a bad dv, but Im not sure. I was just going to run it by you guys to see what you thought. I am going to check it next weekend. Thanks ahead for any input!

Yeah what he said.. Id guess that your DV is serviceable and they tend not to break, but may perform badly if it needs cleaned out or an adjustment... I bet its a vac line leak.. Just replace all your vac lines to rule it out, its good preventative maintnance even if thats not the problem.

It has to be something with the chip I think, my car will do it every now and then and i have the same setup. I am going to contact ATP because i know droors had a problem on AZ. I will be installing an EBC or mbc soon.

cus this happens to me if im going like 50 up a mountian pass at high elevation, if i get in and out and then back into boost to fast then my car will stall sometimes, well not stall the epc light will come on and i just loose throttle but still have power everything. i just turn the car off and then back on real fast and its back to normal
