Go to your dealer and ask for this SIB to be performed:

Hey thanks Dackelone. Most of the time the rpm goes up and down only stalled on me twice. What does the sib do, is it a newer software. Does it work for n54 engines too

I would still check things like thrown codes, loose TDC sensor or the output signal of the sensor and for vacuum leaks(ie a leaking valve cover, oil cap, etc).

Hi guys, after one month of testing the problem is still here, I have removed Cobb and Afe and returned to stock map and intake, tested for vacuum leak and checked for code at dealership along with fuel pump and every test came out fine. So the only mod I have left is the intercooler with ak mid and muffler plus the motul engine oil I had changed.
The car now runs fine but occasionally the rev will go up 500rpm and come down again, while I had Cobb, rev went even higher and it stalled a few times, so the problem has improved but it is still extremely ignoring especially when the dealer can't work on it without seeing any codes and I don't have any specialist I can count on in my area. I'm totally stressed out as I must fix whatever it is before putting the Cobb and Afe back on, so guys if you have any ideas, plsssssssss help |

Consider the battery
I had similar symptoms (low rpm that sounded as if it were just about to stall). I also had a low battery warning show up recently. Trickle charging while I was deployed apparently wasn't good enough. Also I have a very short drive to and from work.
Dealer changed the battery after testing it (and also changed an ISB cable). That was 2 weeks ago, and I haven't noticed any of the low RPM, near stalling type problems. Good luck! |

this is only during idle right?
e.g. you are holding the rpm at 2000 and it goes up and down? i had this before and later found out that the exhaust system create this, however since then i changed to akrapovic, and had bigger problems.. RPM's go low even when its not idle, but after few moments the engine self revved and the RPM go stable. I would honestly say don't need to worry to much about this, cause last time a friend of mine said turbo engine does this.. good luck

Hey Jay yes self revving when gas padel isn't pressed. Tho it might not be dangerous but if I install Cobb, the problem becomes a lot worse to a point it will stall and it's very stressful not being able to fix it

Took my car for a thorough body check today and found the third injector to be quite dirty with water stain and took out some gas to see the quality which turned out to be black color almost. So the guys at the workshop reckon it's the bad gas causing the unstable rpm. So it's possible that Cobb has a higher gas quality requirement and it's more sensitive to bad gas that's when I stalled a few times while running their maps.
So conclusion is to find a better gas station offering cleaner gas which can be difficult in shanghai |

that's one of the dealer suggestions. hence i was on stock map before, my biggest guess for my issue was the carless down pipe or O2 sensors.. nevertheless it got sold before i manage to solve them

Mine is much worse on the cobb maps than the OEM mapping. I kind of have to run the cobb long term since I have RB turbos. |
