Default I'm having problems with my car

OK...Heres my setup:
2000 Honda Civic Si
Drag 3 turbo
RC440s
Hondata 2B

Last Friday on my way home my car died on me three times. My idle would drop real low when i was at a light or something and when I'd press the gas the car would die and then it'd be a pain in the *** to start. I changed the spark plugs and it seemed to run fine after that. I drove it to dallas today to get tuned but my appointment got cancelled on me without me knowing it. So after a 2.5 hour drive there and the 2.5 hour drive back, I parked my car in the garage for like 2 hours max. I went to go somewhere and got in my car and tried to start it and the car idled real low and the whole car pretty much shook then it'd die. Tried getting it started by slowly pressing on the gas but it kept having the real shaky idle thing and kept dying. Whats wrong with it and will there be a way to fix it when I finally get it tuned?

I've been helping out with this turbo install and I have heard that the OBD2 IACV is different than the OBD1 and there is something that needs to be changed in order for it to work properly, but searching hasn't unearthed anything.

Sounds to me like the IACV is staying closed. I know that when it is tuned by they can check the output voltage and set the duty cycle.

I had broken insulators on my first set of plugs that caused the same problem. I put in colder plugs and they're doing ok so far.

Did you put colder plugs in?

Yes I'm using colder plugs. I need to order some bcpr7es-11s too. Where is the best place to find them?
