Pre turbo, 1150* for the early non-I/C models, VE pump.

Seems counterintuitive, but if you'd care to explain, I'm all ears. I didn't adjust fueling yet because I wanted to see what just the turbo would do. There is room for improvements in drivability, but it runs so well, I have things on the to-do list that will be done ahead of any further mods.
