Default Engine stalled while in motion

Had anyone of you driving a B6 1.8TQ ever stalled the car while in motion? For some reason lately, my B6 just stalled for no reason at low speed when my car is in neutral (coming to stop at light). The engine just dies and it doesn't even make any jerking or grinding noise, just turns itself off. It's kinda dangerous and I dunno what's going on, dealer said I can't reproduce the issue......so I dunno what to do, please advise?

my 1.8t b5 would stall sometimes after a hard boost and then i would put it in neutral it would die but the ecu would learn and solve the problem in 50 or so miles.

my 1.8t b5 did that once, and once only. like jeff said, i think the ecu figured out the problem and corrected it.

I use the TurboSmart 50/50 DV, so half of the pressure is vent to atmosphere. Is that the reason why it stalls at times when coming to stop at neutral?
Please explain if possible, thanks.

Well your car is definately expecting that 50% extra air which your are venting into the atmosphere. Do you get a fuel smell or anything? Could be running really rich and gets bogged down with too much fuel, not able to fire properly.

But then again... im shooting in the dark.

Thanks for all your help guys, I think I'm just going to replace mine to be 100% DV.
