Ok, this is a weird one.

When i'm driving @ approx. 3k rpm or higher and i put the clutch in to go to neutral, the car stalls. I even tried changing my dsmlink settings to set my idle higher to 900 so it could maybe catch it, but this happens even crusing and just put the clutch in and it stalls. Sometimes if it does stall, i can put it back into gear-hit the throttle and voila! its back. I have pretty good vacuum 20hg so i dont think its a boost leak. Only thing i can think of is the bov is leaking somehow.
 
Well, I saw your other thread about your battery issues. It's possible that the two problems could be connected. Just for good measure though, if you're BOV is not venting, check your BISS screw.

My BOV doesnt vent to atmosphere,and my biss screw is fine. This has nothing to do with my electrical problem, i'm wondering if my injectors could have something to do with it,like they're intermiddently shutting off.

I had similar problems when I jumpped a tooth on my timing. Ran fine, but under 20mph (braking) it would stall. But would start right up everytime and idle fine.
 
a combonation of problems...vacuum leaks,timing,tps,isc...the ecu cannot find itself because its getting false information.my car did the samething and it was timing and cracked vacuum hoses.
