Could be numerous things.

Has it only happened since you installed the SC kit?

As far as i can tell, This basically happens mainly with people with a the high boost cooler, Probably due to the fact that you have deviated slightly from what the base map is made for.
I.e the smaller "low boost size cooler"

Icv was fine before install, so if I run low boost pipe work and cooler should be ok?

Same here. While i have had some similar issues recently i had no problems for 2 years with the high boost cooler setup Yes

Size of the cooler should not affect it, more like the ICV is faulty, the pas sensor or lambda sensor. or may just need a tweak to the map?

The problem is though, is that the size of the cooler does affect it, depending on what map is loaded onto the ECU. The reason for this is because the ICV which used to control the airflow just in the inlet plenum, is now having to control the airflow in the charger, pipework, cooler AND the plenum. So it's doing A LOT more work than what it was originally designed for.

The problem is more apparant with a larger cooler as there is even more surface area for the ICV to control. Yes

Lee runs high boost pipes and pipes? Rich as told me people do so just need to find how they do it.The car amazing quite but when they no revs going it will drop they stall even blipping the throttle its 50/50 whether it stalls.

Spiky what map do you run? I have the low boost v2

Yes, it can and has been done. However, the ICV still suffers. Lee's is pretty reliable without stalling, but he still gets the odd stall. Yes

I had similar issues Sam since installing my supercharger kit a year or so ago. I tried various ICV's to no effect, had codes read numerous times and no codes and still did it. Recently I tweaked the throttle body so it never quite fully closes and it improved things a little but still did it.

Only a few weeks ago me and a mate Welded up my top engine mount and wedged it more solidly as well as I fitted an uprated lower mount. At the same time I fitted the larger of the 2 boat restrictor rings before getting the car rolling roaded and since I did those 2 things its a hell of a lot better. Rarely stalls at all now where as before often if you started the car it wouldn't catch the idle and would stall fraught away when the revs drop.

I'll show you what to tweak on Sunday of you like.

It's worth noting though that since I fitted the Rich W flywheel and pulley the car does not run smoothly when cold at all. It coughs and splutters particularly at low revs when coolant temp is below 70 and sometimes is a pig to drive like it. Once warm it's fine. I'm not the only one who has had spluttering since fitting the flywheel It's to be expected though running a generic map.

However my rolling road torque and bhp graphs were perfect considering its a generic map.

Mine is also on version 2 btw and while I think about it are all your boost hoses solid inside or reinforced with aluminium piping? They collapse under idle otherwise and also contribute largely to stalling.

just needs a tweak on the map then as said? the ecu should see its going to stall and react to it. yes there is more air there but still should not really affect it as the ecu sees the rpm so opens the icv till the rpm pics up.

Got to remember Sam all the wiring has been changed for another engine loom and another ecu was fitted which you don't know how good it is? we had to put another second hand map sensor in so you had the later type so again don't know how good that was. And the PAS sensor is a different one that came in the modified pipes, so again unknown if its good?



Might be worth reading the ecu see if there is any faults before jumping to a smaller cooler.

Obviously it could be a sensor playing up, or a boost leak, Or as x69 RGG found, a dodgy angle on the map sensor wiring.
BUT
There is overwhelming evidence on this very forum that if you have a lowboost sc 6, fit a high boost intercooler And don't have a custom map, You will get a bit of stalling.

Almost all of those with "low boost intercoolers" don't have any issues which is not a coincidence..

Look at all these links and tell me you don't arrive at the same conclusion.

NOTE:
In x69rgg's case, Once he fixed the wiring the problem went, But he has a low boost cooler.

http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=108932

Petes fixes his with sensors here (low boost cooler)
http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=156062&page=1

And in here, Word from the man himself:

http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=75851&page=23

Key sentence (richw)

Small intercoolers don't really suffer from it.

I had running issues when i first got mine up and running, i too thought it could be down to the larger high boost style cooler, i changed icv map sensors but the fault stayed, i have since stripped the fuel pump to find pick up filter was a little clogged, mine was giving problems more with accelerating, the stalling can only be down a leak on air intake id say or sensor

Hi Sam, can you get a video? Idle was solid and it was fine through the range including sub 3k so suspect it has uncovered a weakness elsewhere or a small boost leak. Well done for getting it in Smile how you finding it?

Now sorted big thanks to carl chambers.

We changed over the icv and pas sensor, now idle spot on Big grin

With stalling if you clutch down for complete stops between 1-0 revs the icv has always caught it.

Now for smaller cooler so I can enjoy it properly Big grin

Sounds like the PAS sensor was knackered then.
