Water leak from left hand top rear of engine
that pic is of a pcv hose so if it was leak from that it would be oil! the common hose to leak for futire referance is the short hose that feeds the pass turbo about 5" hose running at 45 degrees above the bellhousing,or one of the small hoses that run under the plenum,where a hose bypass is the easier option.

Clutch?
when you replace the clutch it would be silly not to replace the rear main seal to the crank,as mark says!otherwise if it leaks down the line its gearbox out again.rps sport is an ideal clutch and comes with new release bearing,and needle bushing.

LMAO at porche
not sure mate,a very rough and i mean rough way of a guesstamate is every extra 1psi of boost =10hp so running 14psi is 5extra psi figure it out,all depends on engine condition so as said rough guess

2 problems possibly related.
ok lets get this straight,your electric fan is coming on,dont get confused with the viscous!the viscous fan is permantly on due to it being belt driven of the waterpump pulley wheel,im guessing you mean the electric fan,in which case will be due to a faulty temp sensor yellow plug on top of front waterpipe,clean it or replace plug/loom and that should stop the fan coming on intermitadly,this may be retarding the timing as it thinks the engine is getting hot and causing the car to run poorly.This is why it takes time for the turbos to get up to efficancy due to the timing being backed off via the ecu

Confused Now
every car is differant,if one car has slightly lower compression than the other it may produce less hp etc,id say increase your boost and enjoy it,does it really matter?over 15 years a car looses a fair amount of hp due to wear and tear so if you increase the boost by a few psi,all your doing is bringing the car back within spec of performance

Rhythmic Tapping
sounds like a sticky lifter,check the oil levels,could also be due a decent oil change with a good quality synthetic
