You posted to a section for issues pertaining to the site, not the cars... so it wasn't showing up. I've moved this the MKIII section.

Vacuum diagrams are posted here frequently, a search will certainly locate them for you.

Fix the vacuum lines first and check for diagnostic codes (details are posted in the FAQ section).

The vacuum lines, BOV, a bad air flow meter (KVAFM aka AFM for short), TPS and ISCV (Idle Speed Control Valve) are all suspect... Again, begin with the vacuum lines and checking for diagnostic error codes.

What are they out of? If the values and measurements are far from stock and you're running the stock ECU with no additional tuning devices then yes, this could be PART of the issue. It wouldn't contribute to the code 31 I now see you've read from the ECU.
The VTA signal must be around .5v at 0 throttle and approx 3.48 at WOT. Lower than .48v and higher than 3.48 may cause the ECU to decide there's a problem.
The must also be an IDL switch present (it's built into the stock TPS), it if's not present one needs to be supplied or other modifications to the intake must be made.

You don't have a MAF..... You have a KVAFM (Karmann Vortex Air Flow Meter); They're VERY different and the mistake can cost a pretty penny... for example MAF cleaner will usually slaughter the KVAFM (which is an optical sensor).
The errors are covered in the manual:
http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/TechTi...ror_codes.aspx
21 - The O2 sensor is damaged or absent... fix it.
31 - AFM signal is out of bounds, wiring is shorted, sensor is bad or the ECU is bad... Figure out which and... fix it.
41 - TPS signal.... no TPS signal (or no valid signal) to the ECU. I covered the valid range for this signal above.
I would start with the TPS; just because it should be an easy fix. Then the AFM which is the biggest priority but may take more time. I would be least concerned about the O2 signal error.
The vacuum lines need to be checked too, I'd probably verify their routing before anything else to eliminate doubt with other repairs.
Good luck!
