another update:
My baby is SICK. After much hard work and discussion I've come to the conclusion that I somehow managed to destroy my fuel injectors when repairing some o-ring leaks. I was very careful when pulling everything apart but I noticed that 2 of my injectors were missing that little needle on the end when I re-capped them. Because I was so careful and saw no damaged pieces laying around on my work bench I just assumed that's how they always were and put them back in the car. Apparently that was the wrong thing to do. The car is running so rich it's just pouring black smoke out of the exhaust.
Also, during this time I managed to crack the upper radiator plastic causing the radiator to have to be replaced. This is frustrating but not entirely unexpected. Another $120 down the crapper.
So now I've ordered a new radiator and upper hose (tank broke off in hose) and picking up a set of JY injectors from a local TB member. I'm going to send them off the Injector-rehab.com to be rebuilt and fully flowed and balanced. After that it's just a matter of swapping them over and correcting the wastegate tension and she should be golden.
