I'll let you know as I still need to fix a bunch of little things before I go to crazy (o2 Sensor, Speedo, etc) I got the dash lights working again (former owner had terrible indiglo gauges that werent even wired in. But now after driving tonight my low beams don't work ( highs do) I Imagine I knocked the wire loose somewhere because it was working and now doesn't. In low beam the high beam signla is on but I have no lights until I flip to highbeam, I assume this could be because of a pulled wire somewhere that I didn't get to yet during cleanup.
I've never seen a car this muddled together in my life.

So for a much needed update..... Apparently the lower section of my speedo cable was missing...... That's right.... completely gone! And the clunk it seems is a blown out carrier bearing.
In leiu of getting a one piece shaft I'm just going to get the bearing due to how much highway driving I do. Stalling issues it seems is due to a combination of a worn out O2 and a non-recirced BOV.... I might just deal with it for a while until I can replace the intake tube between the MAF and Turbo (large gash in it) and get a new boost controller so I can just do it all at once.
The fuel cut was indeed caused by the original boost controlled completely blowing apart... 14psi felt good and now I know I'll never be satisfied with the stock 6psi.
Supposedly this thing has ARP headstuds and an HKS headgasket.... thinking just putting it at 10-11psi and letting it alone?? Bodywise the thing is solid with only one tiny spot of surface rust so I don't want to go and blow up a decent Mk3 lol.

If you didn't have 34, you didn't have fuel cut. A large gash between the airflow meter and the turbo is leaking metered air to atmosphere. The same as have a blow off valve in place of by pass valve, when the BOV is defective. It seems like you have multiple problems.
It threw a code 34 that night, right when the boost controller blew apart. No leaks as of right now, just goofy idle due to BOV being vented.

You should go with a full T4 upgrade. The exhaust housing supports much more upstairs, along with the manifold. 500 bhp set up correctly.
