Well, I'm an idiot. So I've been troubleshooting my idle issues (dying on startup, dying when clutch is pressed in from higher revs, no fast idle, ect)
Figured it out this morning. So when I installed my bigger turbos with the bigger exhaust manifolds, it raised my turbo outlet hardpipe up a bit. It had a straight piece of hose on it from the previous owner, instead of the 90 degree bend it was supposed to have. Never had an issue with it before, but that little bit of raise to it has kinked it closed. Go figure. I noticed while assembling, and then it slipped my mind once I turned the key, haha. Squeezed the hose, idle shot up. Durrr. Super simple fix. Was thinking I was gonna have to track down even more vacuum leaks after everything had settled and gone through a couple of heat cycles, but that's all it was.
Never a bad thing when we find the problem, and it's good when we can easily fix the damn thing (for once) without a 3-ring circus.
Speaking of which, mine has just gave me gas fumes yesterday which of course resulted in a fuel line clamp tightening session, 3rd this year and yeah- they were all pretty loose again, as always. I HATE THE FUEL LINE CLAMP BATTLE WITH THE Z32!!!
So with the idle also a bit fuzzy it's time for the fall engine bay run, servicing EVERYTHING...filters, clamps, hoses, elec. connectors, brakes (PS caliper is sticking on occasions), you name it. Ya-hooooooo
