Good news I figured out the source of the problem! It was the damn Vortech BOV and the vacuum line running to it. Soon as they undid the vacuum line the car runs perfectly fine! Anyone know why this would be or do I just need to not run the vacuum line to the top of the BOV considering it just vents to atmosphere and not back into the intake.

Motronic is not designed to run an atmospheric blow off valve, it should recirculate. At idle engine vacuum pulls the diverter valve open and then the MAF is not metering the airflow into the engine and will not fuel correctly.
You can fit a stiffer spring to prevent idle pulling it open, but soft enough when you lift off boost it will open, you will still get incorrect afr when you do that as air that has been measured into the system is now lost.
I would just set it up as per OEM.
Or pressure mount the maf and live map, or switch to speed density if you really want it to go whoosh.Current-2004 Impreza PPP wagon

Question like that, what is the stock vaccuum the diverger valve needs to open ? 1.3 bar ?
I have a dahlback racing diverter but unknown spring strenght in it. I want to test it before putting it in.
Glad you found your issue ! I have 1990 CQ swapped with a 3b
Thanks

A strong throttle off vacuum on an AAN (for example) is around 22 inches of mercury (Hg). This is only about 0.745 Bar. The diverter valve should be open way way before that, like 5 inches of Hg or about 0.16 Bar (don't quote me on that but it will be a very small amount of vacuum).RS2'd 93 UrS4 5 spd sedan

Ok so I could use a little more of all your expertise on this. I'm down to the last few little things I need to sort out and one of them is the oil light flashing on the auto check computer. I'm pretty sure I have the pit out correct but not 100% positive since I do not have an English version of the wiring diagram for it. Blue with a black tracer is the wire I believe that needs to be in pin 24 of the yellow 26 pin connector. Or does it need to be in pin 19 of the white 26 pin connector. Either way I've tried it in both in the light still flashes in the auto check computer. Any ideas what else it could be? Or does anyone have a English pin out for the auto check?

So you do have this?

But you don't have this: http://12v.org/urs/audi_c4_wiring_diagram.pdf ?
If you don't download and save and then go to Figure 40 on pg. 51/113, tracks 118 and 120 should be what you need. Or NOT (they are AAN-based, not 3B).
