What is your spark plug gap?Also maybe why it's hard ot stall.Maybe not enough spark created to burn the fuel comign at low rpms.So it makes your car stall.Yuo shut off your car and at lwo rpms it's pourign fuel so kinda foulign out your plugs.Most common issue of stallign when coming to a stop is BOV.yu atmospheric?

I would check for a blown coupler on your intercooler piping. I had problems with a elbow that came off of my turbo outlet to hot pipe that would blow off when reaching about 10psi. It would run alright just extremly rich and would stall at stops unless I was on the throttle.

all the couplers are fine my gap is 35 i run a blow trough setup so even if the bov was open it shoyld not cause a problem like i said it hold boost and runs fine it just stalls at stop lights.
