Yup, I was right. Replaced the bleeder valve and the car is all good now. It idles much smoother too after all the hoses and throttle body cleaning, new d.v., and a new check valve. :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ahh looks like it's the bleeding valve (06B 103 245) the culprit.
Mine looks empty in the inside and there is another check valve (06A 133 528 D/A) connected to it so I thought it was fine but when I was about to return the new bleeding valve, I noticed there is actually moving thing in the inside and the old one is completely empty (I wonder where the moving thing went)
I'm going to change it now, will update again later.

Replaced Check Valve (06A 133 528 D/A) today, car is still idling rough, flashing CEL but it's solid/no CEL when the car is moving.
What I have done so far:
1. Replaced turbo Inlet Pipe
2. Replaced D.V.
4. Did Smoke Test, No Vacuum Leak
3. Replace Check Valve (06A 133 528 D/A)
4. Cleaned Throttle Body and All Pipes under Intake Manifold
Codes keep reappearing:
17705 - Pressure Drop between turbo and Throttle Valve (check D.V.!)
P1297 - 001 - Upper Limit Exceeded
And All Cylinders Misfire
Car idles fine when I squeeze this hose marked in green:

I was moving the hoses leading to a check valve (06A 133 528 A) to get more room for my screwdriver and that thing broke at one end. Dealer told me there is a new revised valve, same part number but with letter D instead of A. Here's the new part number 06A 133 528 D
Looks like I won't be needing the bleeder valve anymore (06B 103 245). It looks empty in the inside, no springy or moving parts so I cleaned it up with some WD40. I also cleaned up all the hoses. I put it in order anyway just in case. I haven't checked the housing. Hopefully I'll get the replacement parts tomorrow and manifold will come off again. Can't get access to the bleeder housing without removing it.

August, 2010 Updates
New Diverter Valve didn't help.
I removed the intake manifold to inspect any leak under there and didn't find any.
Well now, everything is put back together. cleaned throttle body and intake manifold, new gasket. All check valves are fine.
Car still stuttering at idle but not as bad but this time I can feel the car gives more power, maybe the cleaning kinda helped. I think it's still slowly leaking oil from somewhere. With the oil cap off, it sounds like sucking in air, same when oil dipstick off. I guess there is still vacuum leak somewhere.
Codes keep reappearing:
17705 - Pressure Drop between turbo and Throttle Valve (check D.V.!)
P1297 - 001 - Upper Limit Exceeded
and All Cylinders Misfire
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After I replaced the cracked turbo inlet host, I'm still getting this code with all cylinders misfired.
17705 - Pressure Drop between turbo and Throttle Valve (check D.V.!)
***********P1297 - 001 - Upper Limit Exceeded
Replacing the cracked turbo inlet hose didn't help.

Plugs were replaced recently. Coils replaced with the improved version few months ago.

B5.5 Passat 1.8T ABT Top Speed Run 250 km/h (155.3 MPH)
This is a B5.5(2001.5-2005 Generation) top speed run on the Autobahn. I'm not really sure how modified it is, but from the video it seems like it's only been delimited and it doesn't seem like it's putting out any more than 170 BHP at the flywheel that the stock 1.8T does.
2003 Volkswagen Passat W8 4Motion Start Up, Rev, & Quick Tour - 87K (Bad Torque Converter)
2003 VW Passat with 4Motion AWD ( Start Up, Rev, & Brief Tour )
This has a 4.0L DOHC W8 making 270 HP while paired to a 5 Speed Auto.
Interior materials at the time it came out didn't seem bad but now it just looks so bad. So many plastic pieces with the color wearing off, any cracked panel, Trim around the door lifting off, airbag cover beginning to warp.
This car seems to have transmission issues. When I put it in Drive, it made a huge jerk & wanted to leap forward. And it seems part of its problem is a failing Torque Converter which was whining upon fluctuating throttle. The whine is not the power steering as it didn't make noise when rotating the wheel.
