I've posted here asking to do that very thing. Only one taker but he's not really local and his car isn't running.
My car isn't slow. And now that the timing is where it should be the few complaints I had with drivability are gone. I've hooked up a diagnostic vacuum/boost guage and watched it in the car and it's all good. 23 inches of mercury during engine braking, 18 inches normal driving, boost needle pegs gauge at 10 psi and continues to what looks like 14 psi on the dash gauge(the black mark between yellow and orange.) It will hold boost at that spot for 3 or 4 seconds and then drops. I have read that this is a function of a resistor in the APC box that can be overridden by bypassing that resistor. But I'm not sure.
I've done a lot to this car and I'm sure I'm not done, but with nothing to compare to I don'tknow what to look at next. I may just need to replace the fuel filter.
