996 Voltage Regulator

I've searched the forum even using google search and can't seem to find the answer.
I've been having some odd electrical issues, new coils throwing cels, ABS/PSM light coming on and recently flickering lights and the voltage meter jumping between 12 and 14.
Replaced all coils (did find one bad coil after swapping them around so replaced that one)
New Bosch plugs.
New Brake switch
Cleaned throttle body
new MAF
New Battery

Decided to go ahead and give a new VR a shot.
Ordered a 000-043-206-37-M14 / Bosch F-00M-144-136 from Pelican as it said that was the right VR.
Replaced the VR in the Alternator and bench tested it. All looked good.
Put back in car and now the volt meter is at least going to 14 but it's still jumping a bit and the lights are flickering.

Double checked the part I pulled from the Alt. it's actually F-00M-145-225

I've seen some references where the 136 is the right VR and some where the 225 is the correct VR.

It would be good if the answer is "hey Pelican has the wrong part listed" and I'll just order the right one.

Worst case --- what else am I looking for here?
I did check the grounds and they all appear ok.

Sorry for the duplicate post if it is one... feel free to bap me up alongside the head and point me to a post where I can find the details

Thanks in advance for the help.
