Otherwise, maybe it's clogged injectors, weak fuel pump, or some other vacuum leak. The AFM could also be dirty. Air Flow Meter (AFM) - from "The 944 Motronic DME" by FR Wilk ...or maybe you left something inside the motor and its rattling around whenever you give it gas.
I replaced the AOS seals though my intake was perfectly clean. Also, vacuum lines were replaced with the Lindsey kit. My idle is a little high (~1000RPM warm) but it was that way before any of this and I think it might just be misadjusted.

I was thinking of having the injectors sent out. Fuel pump is newer used (blue pump). But, I was thinking if it were a flow issue it wouldn't do it at lower RPMs in 5th gear -- it would do it at higher RPMs where horsepower is higher and fuel flow requirements would be higher.

With the FR Wilk chips there is a jumper so I might change that back to stock and see if it makes a difference.
