Default STI V3 cutting out sometimes

As above, could be driving hard and come to a juction and the revs drop to low and it stalls or it may correct itself, even if ticking over and I rev it it might cut out once revs drop.
Using apexi ecu if that makes a difference.

My car has done this since being mapped (Simtek) recently and I do not run a dump valve.


Any ideas what to look for or what the problem could be???

the idle can be effected by temperature quite dramtically so it just needs a small tweak etc..

Yes you are right, it usually happens when the car is really hot or really cold like when its first started and I pull up at a set of traffic lights.

Thanks again!!!

Just been mapped but it done this before that, been told it could be my dump valve (Turbosmart) which I hate anyway
Steve Simpson mapped it up but like I said this was an issue before hand. Could it be ICV?
