First of all i would like to say that i normaly frequent protegeclub.com, but as it seems to be down, im gonna switch over to this forum

now to my question, i have a almost new p5 (3350 miles on it) and i have been havin some problems. recently i have been stalling frequently. I don't know if it is just my crappy driving (which is a strong possibitiy) or if my clutch is messed up or if it is something wrong with my engine
My car seems to lag alloooot at really low rpm/speed then it dies

i have a bad habit of riding my clutch so it may be worn a little but the car is really new so i donno.

If its the clutch, what would a replacement clutch feel like? would it be stiffer or what? also would a lighter flywheel help or make it harder, if a light flywheel is a good idea which is a better idea, the 15 lb one or the 9 lb one? thanks!:D
 
agree. . . could be a vacuum leak or something of that nature.

Clutch will typically be stiffer. Flywheel will make it rev faster, but will lose torque, thus it will stall more frequently / easier.
 
Your check engine light is probably because of the intake and your stalling could be a result of loose fitment or, like mentioned earlier, a vacuum leak.
