Default Why my car stall?

When pulling up to a stop...i'm puting the clutch in and the revs are dropping right off and sometimes the car is stalling.

I was messing about the other day as i was going to fit an apexi avcr so had some of the boost/vacuum pipes off but it has all been returned to as it was before. I also took the battery off.

Someone i was talking to thinks that there might be a vacuum pipe off or leaking somewhere but i've had a good look and cant see anything. Any ideas?

does the car idle ok when first fired up? it could be that when you disconnected the battery and therefore reset the ecu and the idle settings back to the base settings

Only other thing i can think is when i was putting it all back together i tried to start the car before attaching the earth for the ecu.
It wouldnt start at first but as soon as i put the earth back on it fired up first time. Would this do anything?

Double check that there are no kinks in the pipes you took off, maybe they could be orientated wrongly. The smallest kink could effect the running of the car.
