Have you tested the BOV is sealed correctly? Take it out and see if you can blow through it. Quite often they are the cause of hunting.

can you explain a bit more, does it idle from cold or hot or after driving (like arriving traffic lights etc) was it running well and now you're having problems or its been like this since conversion?

yes mate check the bov. Also make sure the pipe from the intercooler onto the turbo is good.(that got damaged the last time i took it off)
its weird that its doing it now as it was fine in my car.

Try giving it a dose of upper engine cleaner, it is available from Subaru.
