[s-cars] Things that go bump in the night.

Hi Y'all,

Monday evening while driving home from Huntington (~110 miles) the 
engine ('95.5 S6 AAN-RS2ed w/ 1.8t coil conversion + other goodies) 
bucked once.  It felt like the ignition just cut out very briefly - 
no more than 0.2 second or so, and about what the overboost cutout or 
the redline cutout feels like except not quite so dramatic due to 
lower performance level at the time.

This evening, on a much shorter trip (~10 miles), it happened several 
times more.  Usually it was just one very quick off/on cycle and then 
all felt normal.  Once it was a double event - off/on/off/on.  All of 
these times I was doing nothing unusual.  Mild speed, mild loud 
pedal, no major boost, nothing out of the ordinary.  Got home 
OK.  Left the ignition turned on (engine died in the garage - another 
bump in the night?) hooked up VAG-COM and read codes - none found.

Suggestions?
