IT RUNS MARVELOUSLY!
BWAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAAA...
No but seriously, I managed to find some silicon lubricant(greatest stuff known to man now, next to duck tape and jb weld)..took apart my TB lubbed everything, reassembled it...works great...no more sticking. So I'm happy that my ported TB works now, thats a plus..also I found my vaccum leak. And revvin, it wasn't the injectors believe it or not...its easier. The line coming off the turbo compressor side that runs up to the hard vacuum line on top of the motor that leads to what HAYES calls the factory boost controller....well, it was open on the hard line end. Since I removed everything from the rats nest, I guess I overlooked it...well it got a cap, and I recharged the battery today and started it up. At first it would start and rev to 4K then die, but I remember my idle adjust screw was backed all the way out, so I put it in 3 turns and restarted the car, it revs to a clean 4100 then drops down to 3700 and idles there,lol...still really high, but I think its because my idle adjustments still need some tweaking...the best part is...it idles at 3700 and doesnt start to rise up(thanks to no more vacum leak)....it'll bounce a little between 3700 and 4K, but not much..the motor shakes a little which means my timing is still off a bit..but hey..it runs *****! Just in time for its new goodies arriving next week hopefully....then I'll be
before ya know it!

It's an Atkins built motor....I was referring to the HAYES manual. I don't trust motors built by hayes,lol.
The motor is a '91 SP in an '88 SE....
...I didn't have much time before having to come into work to play with it, but I'm sure its just due to my idle screw...that, and I think i'm out of gas now,lol....didn't have much in it...
