when I push the clutch in and leave it in for too long the car will stall. It rarely ever happens, but when it does I just let the clutch out a bit to start it back up. can anybody tell me whats wrong.
 
First question: Is your BOV recirculated? If not, when you let off the throttle you're releasing air that has already been accounted for and the engine has already compensated for that air. If it isn't, recirculate it and see if it helps.
 
Is this problem happening at idle or when cruising down the road? Try to check for any intake leaks. Do you have dsmlink? If you do you can check your fuel trims and tell whether there is a leak some where in your intake track. I had the same issue and it was multiple vacuum leaks.
 
while i'm on cruising. intake leaks? intake manifold and intake to turbo? i don't have dsmlink, i just replace my fuel pump back to stock when i happened, could it be the reason?

i do smell fuel a little though, could i have some fuel leaks? i have steel braided from tank to filter to rail.

I would def just run through your whole intake path from the turbo all the way to the throttle body. Mine used to do the SAME EXACT thing. It was annoying, Come to find out my jpipe on my 16g was loose and my throttle body was leaking. If you can, i would try a boost leak test. This way you can here the slightest leaks without the engine running. IC Pipe Tester there is the one I made. Works great.
