Default Turbo b16 dying when its warm

Turbo b16 dying when warm
Ok so i just finished my setup today. Its a stock b16 with a ramhorn mani, external wastgate setup and i have a blox vacuum mani for my vac sources. the side port on My external wastegate is feeding off the nipple on the turbo outlet. the top port of the wastegate is left open. my map sensor, bov and boost guage are ran off the vacuum mani and the evap canister is ran straight to the throttle body. Ok so when cold my car idles fun(bouncing between 8 and 1500) almost choking out and cutting off sometimes. I test drove it around the block and once it got warm everytime im out of the throttle it shuts off. Im not tuned yet but im running my ecu out of my last setup that is tuned for a b16 turbo setup just not this specific setup, cant get it tuned til next weekend but want to make sure i get this fixed if its not just because lack of proper tune.
Thanks for any insight
p.s. i checked for vacuum leaks and coulsnt find any

com on 20 views and noone?

heres a short version, i turbod my b16, has a turbo tuned ecu but hasnt been tuned for this setup yet. when i fire it up it idles back and forth between 800 and about 1400, when it drops it almost dies. once warmed up going down the road it shuts off when theres no throttle. if i start it and give it a little gas it stays running. ANY HELP?

So it's not tuned yet? I had this same problem and it was the IACV. Since yours is new, I'm guessing it's the tune.

Again, same problem.

damn... it was before but i took off the fast idle or fitv or whatever to make sure it was good and didnt bleed anything after that. yuo think that would cause this issue??

also does anyone know how to bleed the coolant without using a bleeder because last time i put the bleeder back in it snapped the threads around it clean off the housing so its plugged with a blot right now til i get my new housing outlet taped that i ordered
