Strange stalling with 2004 boxster when clutch is pressed in.

The car was having idling/stalling issues so I recently replaced the crank position sensor, air oil separator, and ims bearing. The car was smoke tested and absolutely no vacuum leaks. Has anyone experienced similar symptoms? I reused the clutch and flywheel, so I'm wondering if that may be the issue. It idles great until I step on the clutch and it bogs/hesitates.

The car shifts and drives, just studders a lot.

I also installed a new DME relay, battery, and misc hoses with all OEM parts. The only thing I didn't change was the flywheel and clutch.

The car idles great when it starts at (~800 rpm) but it wants to stall out when I press the clutch in despite not being in gear. The car can be driven but it stutters pretty bad.
