Better description lad,could be a boost leak, once it hits full boost it might push a pipe open releasing the boost.

What doess it feel like when it stops?
Gushing sound of air?
Juddering?

It sounds like a boost leak then.

Just check all your boost pipes, including the inter cooler ones,happened me once.

Edit* forget the cooler ones, if its boosting its not them, sorry,tis late

all new vacuum hoses were installed in december

other than that civic triple core rad
short shifter
which are obviously not the prob...

vacuum hoses looked fine over the weekend when i failed in installing new headlight bulbs, i might have to check the hoses again

Good to hear:)

Now as for the idle problem, reset your ecu ( take off one of the battery leads and then reconnect),start it and leave it for 2-3 minutes ticking over, then try it.
