Wow, no help?
Well, I figured it out from some idea's from "the other forum".
I tried the TDC via the apex seal in the spark plug hole and I was somewhat close timing wise but still far off.
I then took the hub off of my spare S4 T2 engine and put it on....
I had the clutch pedal held down with an extension rod, the kind that telescopes and locks in place and you have to pull the tab to release it, while I pulled the front bolt of course.
Timing is PERFECT now.
The car idle's, cruises, drives, pulls, and decel's way better than ever now.
Wish I had thought about the pulley hub earlier.
Basically MAKE SURE YOUR PULLEY/ HUB COMBINATION ARE FROM THE ENGINE TYPE YOU ARE USING
