I just realized that the bov is connected to the intake with a hose. Any idea about the stalling now?

Yeah there is a leak in the piping some place.

Search on google "boost leak tester" and you should find a million and one things about that. Basically, you connect it to the turbo and pump air into it, if it holds pressure then you have no leaks and the problem is elsewhere. They are super cheap to make or buy.. so dont worry.

The BOV might be leaking... does it have the Greddy sticker on top?

The bov is a real greddy type s. How do i fix a bov leak.

So i just have to hook up the leak tester and listen for the leak and then replace the piping? what if the leak goes unfixed?

Do u think maybe i just need to adjust the bov harder or softer??

Before you do that, replace your spark plugs and spark plug wires. Only use NGK non iridium for the plugs (seriously, nothing else) and ONLY use Mitsubishi spark plug wires. None of this duralast bullshit.

If you do thave a leak, the tester will find it. The leak isnt going to harm you, its just going to annoy the balls off you when it stalls all the time. You could try making the BOV harder, but i doubt thats your problem.

Also, that little black box on the intake, make sure the connection to it is nice and tight, and that there is no air leaks.
