Thumbs up Stalling at idle...Fixed!

Hey guys...yesterday afternoon I was idling in my driveway talking on the phone and my TT stalled. It started right back up with no issues. Then yesterday evening it did it 4 more times at red lights in a 20 minute span. This morning again in Starbucks drive thru, and again as I was pulling into my garage. It is running great and feels the same as it has before it started stalling. Each time it starts back up without hesitation. The only thing I can think of is I installed the Fabspeed air intakes on Tuesday. With the intakes, it ran great with no stalling up until yesterday. I also have the Upsolute ECU (3 months) and the Maxspeed Motorsports Exhaust (2 months). I guess I'll call the dealership on Monday, but thought I'd get some feedback from you guys this weekend. Thanks!
(fyi it just turned 15k miles)

Sounds like you have a intake/vacuum leak or something? Maybe everything isn't tight after you installed some mods as listed in your sig? Check to see if something's come loose? Y-pipe connector, boost hose, around your MAF housing with your intake... that sort of thing.

sounds like you have some sort of leak most likely coming from an incorrect installation of your intake. Could also be a faulty intake. have the dealership or the people who installed it take a look. good luck
