What about the torque tube? Could it be time for a rebuild?

If the vibrations are there, with the car in neutral and not moving, I would say it is not the torque tube.

#2 The vibration can be felt with the Clutch pedal In or Out
#3 Vibration is always there like the engine is runing rough, can be felt through out the whole rpm range
#4 If i put my hand on the crossmember, A-arms, Front sway bar is smooth as silk. No vibes there.
#5 With the splindle sleeve that engages into clutch pulled back( not engaged) the vibe is still there.
#6 The car runs fine, with no noticeble loss in power, or Oil pressure and good temps
#7 No codes on the DME, Good voltage power, O2 sensor reads right


Now the parts that were already replaced, and double checked by Porsche garage. All check out
MAF
DMF
Clutch Kit
Timing Belt
Balance Shaft Belt
Ignition Coil
DME ecu
Recheck Timing Marks
Recheck Balance Shaft Marks
Recheck Balance Shafts Orientation Key ways
Variocam pads changed + Chain
Re-time Camshafts
16 Lifters
Lambda Sensor O2
2 x Motor Mounts (original Porsche)
Rod Bearings changed
Exhaust mounts
Spark Plugs Wires Set
Spark plugs

As you can see, im getting pretty desperate, after searching all forums i could find still no solution. Any new ideias?

The TT motion is independent of car motion. It only depends on whether the clutch is in or out.

This means it is definitely not the TT.

I still say it's the BSs.

exhaust harmonics? I had this problem on an S2 after removing the cat and replacing with a test pipe.

Did this shaking/vibration ever get resolved after the engine 'rebuild?'
