reeks of fuel? when was the fuel pump last checked?
Perhaps the fuel pump is on the blip and is slowly getting weaker making it cut? could be the ecu sensing something isnt right trying to stop it stalling so putting in extra fuel, fuel pump going wft! and cutting out making you stal.
... but could be well off haha.

As for the problems you are having, I would suggest you take it to a specialist to diagnose the issue, has the car been seviced recently, when was the last time the fuel filter was changed?

Yikes... is the button with the comma symbol on your keyboard broken? Your post was nearly unreadable! I suggest you first learn to type in English, before asking a bunch of internet mechanics to diagnose your car woes.

loose the dump valve for a start and refit a standard one, aftermarket dv's (vta ones) can cause problems such as irratic idle, over boosting, poor fuel consumption, flat spots.. so refit a standard one and see how that goes..
if that doesnt cure it then check the coil packs, they maybe cracked and on there way out. i had some problems with juddering and dipping revs on my old classic which turned out to be a cracked coil pack.

It does read that way loose the dump valve for a start and refit a standard one, aftermarket dv's (vta ones) can cause problems such as irratic idle, over boosting, poor fuel consumption, flat spots.. so refit a standard one and see how that goes..

i would do as others have said and put the standard re-circ back on, but i think it still sounds like a dodgy maf. the one your husband fitted, was it new or a second hand one?
