Default b18 continues to die when idling

New to this forum,but have a question for all experts.I have a b18c in a 95 hatch with a garret gt35r turbo..i m runnin a victor x intake and an 80mm throttle body.the motors built to handle 700 hp so all the internals are top notch everything.1600 cc injectors,spoon cam gears,pistons,rods u name it..however I think my air fuels off which is causing the problem cuz I can run her just fine for about 20 min with no problems then wen I slow down to idle it dies and it takes awhile to start again.it runs from between 14 and 16..I got 8.5 mm plug wires and ngk bkr7e plugs. Timings right on as well. I have it set to idle about a grand cuz its tuned at 550 hp now. Well I told y'all wat I think the problem is...any suggestions are welcome and appeciated.

Possibly an idle air control valve. Sometimes you have to adjust your throttle body plate so.

1600cc injectors are going to be tricky to get idle. You might check the throttle linkage. I had a similar problem and my linkage had too much slack in it. It shouldn't have more than 1/4" of play. Hope that helps
