I finally picked up the burb. Peddle to the floor on the interstate resulted in fuel starvation, so when I got home I opened the drain valve w/engine running. No fuel- engine stopped. I guessed the oil pressure switch was bad. Yesterday, I took the OPS out and pressure tested it. Sure enough dead. I installed a new one along with a relay to take the load off the switch. Quick test drive showed fuel starvation issue is solved.
Now I've got a check engine light that wasn't there before? At least it doesn't miss at idle now...

PMD is already mounted on a heat sink hanging off the manifold. I think I'll make an extension harness and move it to a cooler location.

I think one reason its a pig is the restrictive/inefficient turbo.

I'll shoot some pics this evening...
