I'm gonna go with a wild guess and say BAC valve, simply because it was at a stop idling low, probably foot on the brakes, with a/c or heater on and the stereo on, putting load on the alternator causing it to die out.

I guess it would matter on the size of the vac leak then too right, because when I first re-assembled my motor I had a rather large vac leak and I was idling at around 2k

Snug up your throttle cable possibly. When my car (piston driven) is cold, even like 45deg F, it will rev high. I think it might be because the cable shrinks a bit when it's cold and then of course expands/lengthens when it warms up. So you might be able to solve it by tightening it just a bit. (I've done this before and it seems to work ok)

On the turbo its on the passanger side of the intake under the intercooler I believe.
Thats for S4, I'm not sure if S5 will be located the same way since I don't own an S5... yet.

yeah it does seem like it just happens when it gets warm. as soon as it started getting warm my car started doing the same thing, like every couple of days it will idle at 500 and die whenever it wants. i just drive it hard as **** to show it i mean business and then it doesnt stall anymore
but i would also like to know a way to fix this or what might cause it
