But everyone seems to thing if it is a wiring thing it's definitely ignition related? I'll take a look at that stuff tomorrow when it's light out, and let you know how it goes. Thanks everyone for the help, and keep it coming.

smiley was made just for you :PIt still may be a fueling issue. It doesn't *have to* sputter to be fuel.
Here's something to think about. Now that I recall my old bimmer's fuel & oil starvation hijinx, I remember that the fuel related sputtering (and sometimes stalling) would occur a couple of seconds after initiating or even finishing a hard turn. It would take some time for the air to reach the injectors. The valve train chattering would happen very shortly after pulling some G's.
If it was ignition, on the secondary (hot) side of the coils, I'd say some sputtering/misfiring would likely be evident as well as you ease in or out of the turn, but that doesn't completly rule it out. If your lights are staying on during the stall, it's probably not a major (power system) short. So maybe we're looking at a ground coming loose on the ignition system. If it was B+, like you'd find on the primary side of the coils, a fuse would go.
Speaking of which, make sure those fuses and relays are snug.... though they usually are.
Good luck

Not my section, but I had to chime in (hunting down vacuum diagrams for the TT)...
My '91 TII had the same problem. It didn't matter how much fuel was in the tank, the tank was clean as new. HOWEVER, the filter attached to the base of the fuel pump was slightly clogged up. I removed the fuel pump, took a bolt off of the bottom releasing a small bracket that held the fuel pump filter in place, removed the filter. Here comes a choice, either set it in some solvent for a stretch of time (overnight), or replace it with a new sock from the dealer (less than 20USD). I opted for some paint thinner, and brushing the hell out of it. Replaced and reinstalled, and it's been working fine since.
Hope it helps!

On my friends 93' model, they are metal baffles that are spot welded. Of course they are broken and hit the fuel pump sender unit giving it false readings.
