What do you mean it dies? Stalls? runs out of breath? Misfires?

Hmmm, I don't know, a boost leak big enough to stall the car most likely wouldn't allow you to restart it..Have you VAG'd?

You don't need a CEL to check for codes. Not all codes will generate a CEL. I suppose it could be fuel related. Have you done any work to the car lately?
