My car keeps wanting to die mostly when im stopping at a light, and if im at a stop and i repeatedly press on the brakes the car slowly dies on me. The car will idle fine when its parked but after a few min it starts to stall again. I've checks all my couplers and clamps and even installed new vac lines. lmk what you guys think of all this.

got another prob now... Everytime i push it hard I hear this clack noise and after that the car doesnt boost at all. You dont even hear the bov anymore... Once I shut off the car and start up its fine again, but it'll do it again after a few min.

check to see if you have a massive vaccume leak. try and plug the large vaccume hose going to your booster. you will be running like you have no power brakes so be careful. it seems like your booster or your valve/elbow that connects the hose to the booster is bad. this could explain the boosting problems because you have no vaccume, either that or your wastegate is stuck open.

i had a problem like this that the bolts that held up my wastegate fell off which left it hanging and caused it to run like shit.. Check your wastegate like supreme said.

im pretty sure the problem is somewhere around the brake booster... If I press on the brakes like 10 time really fast the car will die. Im gonna check around that area in a few min.
