I have had this problem with the stalling in the throttle for a while lately and I was running low on gas so I went to the gas station and fulled her up with 92 oct. While I was leaving to go back home I was at a red light, it soon turned green and I hit the acceleration. By the time I made it to the other side of the intersection my car just stopped. I was like WTF?!?!?!!? I was turning my key off and on like crazy and my mind was running with all the possible problems. My car finally turned on and I hit the acceleration hard and it was now running ok.

I do have the code due to the headers, but thats about it. I'm thinking maybe it was the tranny giving out now or maybe it was the electrical system maybe. I'm every confused! After that, my car was running ok the rest of the day.

It really has to do with the stalling issue because my car felt like it was holding back, but instead of getting the boosting feeling- it just died on me.

Dirty Injectors
Old spark plugs
bad wires
dirty throttle body
bad MAF sensor
bad tune - running too rich
That's a few off the top of my head. There's probably a lot more possiblilities.

Take your pick

I'll try replacing the fuel filter since I've never replaced it at all and cleaning up the injectors. I know there has to be a do it yourself injector cleaner thingy.

Boosting feeling? Did you get the turbo setup installed?

Nope- I don't know how else to explain it. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I'm only @ 43k miles with my car so far.

Some of the 2004's were known to do that, they would just shut off and then they were fine once restarted. With all the electrical gadgets on cars these days, it's easy for a glitch to pop up. Cleaning the fuel injectors, MAF sensor and throttle body can't hurt either.
