Default engine dies when running with a/c

i'm tuning a friend's car.
bseries 2L
1000cc
air intake manifold (iacv is isolated)
gt35

so it's like this. it idles at 800-900 fine, without a/c when i tip in the throttle to like 4trpm, when it goes down, it reached around 500rpm and revives the idle speed.

but when i turn on the AC, no matter what idle speed i run it, EVEN 1.5trpm idle, after a tip in, it goes down straight and engine dies on me.

i tried aem, s300, crome.

tps is set to 0, tried ign from 5 - 20, fuel is okay, vacuum at idle without ac is 250mbar, and with a/c is 350mbar. (too much vacuum?) cam gears are at 0,0.

Check your a/c system's pressure make sure it is not too high...

how high is too high?

is 250mbar @ idle 800rpm no a/c too low? because my car idles at 800rpm also and i get around 450-500mbar. i know i dont have any leaks because turbo is spooling pretty nicely with no boost leak.

Was it chipped or did you actually have it tuned? Talk to JK about making the appropriate adjustments.
