240 turbo stalling

Guri-
I had to replace all the vacuum hoses on my 82 245T while I had it. Vacuum leaks will definitely cause stalling.

Now that my friend owns it, he had to adjust the mixture in the K-Jet fuel distributor in order to get a smooth idle. That was almost a year ago, and the car has been running fine since.

A long Allen wrench is needed to set the mixture- there's a little hole in the top of the fuel distributor for setting this.

Done correctly, it should be set up on an emissions analyzer, but sometimes more basic adjustments can be set "by ear". Either way, address vacuum leaks first- you need to have a car that runs at least some of the time in order to make the adjustments.
