Default Car randomly dies

Well, i got my inline pro turbo kit on and everything works fine except for one problem. The car just dies every now and then when it feels like it. It is usually when i get to a stop light and put it in neutral, the rpms just drop all the way and dont stop at idle. It just dies. It doesnt stutter or anything. I have to pull the key out and wait a minute and it will start right back up afterwards. Any clue as to what might be causing it? I am running AEM EMS, walbro 255 fuel pump, 675 cc injectors, and NGK 4554 spark plugs gapped to .032! Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Fadi

Did the EMS get tuned?
Can't remember if I read that anywhere in your other posts. If it has not been tuned, towe it to a good tune shop and have it tuned.

Before expensive pieces break.

When i got the AEM EMS, it was already tuned by inline pro for the turbo kit i got. The only thing different it the catback and plugs. I know i should still get it tuned and am going to, but i didnt think the car would die after driving it randomly! I am going to get it fine tuned this week. The guy that was supposed to do my tuning died last week in an ATV accident...so i had to wait for his shop to open up and see if someone else over there could tune it for me. I changed the spark plugs right after i got done installing the turbo kit. I got done with it Wensday night! So less than a week ago.

Every car is different; you need to get it tuned for your specific car

Yeah, you need to get that thing to a tuner. I was thinking maybe something was up with your EMS if it was the older 1012 which have injector driver issues on some cars but since it's the newer model it's probably the tune.
