Turbo has poor idle on startup, but will usually clear up after a couple minutes of idling. Will occasionally shut off upon coming to a stop, but will start back up after pumping gas pedal.

Hello,

Very nice. This could be a problem with your vehicle's Idle Air Control Valve (IAC). In the diagrams down below I have included troubleshooting directions for the IAC for your vehicle. Please go through the guide and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex
