Default Fluctuating RPM's when stopping

I was wondering if anyone has seen this issue, when I push the clutch in to stop at a light or whatever. The car flutters a little and the RPM's seem to drop to around 500, almost like the car wants to stall. It does this for a second then its fine, and it only does it when coming out of gear to stop. Anyone have any ideas? I have Baily BPV's and Samco throttle body boot. Havn't put the new fhose in but that is my next step. Thanks in advance.

Intake leak somewhere... split or loose hose. Bet on it.

Default I just noticed I have had the same problem for about a week.

When I come to a stop, the car idles rough for about a second or 2. Then it's normal again. Should I just check for problems with a VAG tool?
