Thanks!
I think my description of the turbo pressure gauge needle only briefly entering the orange was due to shifting. It hit the orange, and then I shifted and it fell back to the white. I haven't really "aired it out" yet, not much highway between the mechanic and home, so don't have a good handle on what the needle/boost should look/feel like.
On my old NA 900s, I usually shifted at about 3500 RPM. With this car, 3500 RPM seemed to barely get the needle in the orange, but maybe I just wasn't punching it enough. Not sure what "pre-det" means...
And yeah, the spots of body rot are going to need some attention, especially the hood. But don't worry, I'll take care of it! :)
