It sounds like you have and unusual and flawed driving technique.
Manual or Automatic?
Automatic. You never use neutral unless you are in a car wash that drags your car by the wheels. Decelerate, foot on the brake and into Park. Your right foot does both brake and accelerator, left foot does nothing. I saw a lady 2 days ago with left foot on the brake and right foot on the accelerator.
Manual. Downshift through the gears, right foot on the brake, left foot on the clutch and into neutral and hand brake on.
If you are doing that, the vehicle needs diagnosis why it is happening.
have the fault codes read to determine which servos/sensors have failed. It is possible that the hose to the turbo actuator is leaking and the turbo is not working as it should or maybe is not connected.
Have you checked the charge on the battery? How bout your connections at the terminals. Vw are very sensitve to voltage drops. You might even have something thats draining your battery
