Default Car has problems when warm

Hey guys, so i have a 00 civic sir that's turboed (don't know if that'll make a difference), I've been having a few problems with it. My first one is that when it's warm, my car will idle so low that it will actually shut off, i have to give it gas while turning the key to get it to start back up. The second one is that when my car isn't fully cooled down and i try to start it up, it will just sorta sputter until i give it gas. What could these be from? Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: I have not got it tuned yet, could that be a part of it?

Y'think? That's THE most important part of turbocharging a car.

I am getting it tuned within the next couple weeks, i just didnt have the funds before. So you think tuning getting it tuned would fix both those problems?

What do your AFRs look like when it dies? Does it throw a CEL?

I don't have a AFR gauge, but yes i do have a CEL light on, ill check that out, but it was on before the car was turboed and even when i fixed the part, it still came on. I'll scan it again though
