I discovered what might be the solution for my rough  / over rich running. I clicked the overall mixture down a couple of notches in  mode 3, and now it starts right up first turn and runs much  better.
 
 
 
And, for turbo people - I discovered a new,  fairly benign, failure mode....
 
What happens when the intercooler air feed blows off  at 300ft on climb out? I can tell you. The engine runs at 2500 rpm and wont go  any higher. You level off at 400 ft, do a quick return to the field, cut off a  Cherokee on downwind, turn a tight base and dump her back down. No problem.  Underware intact. Gotta get a better fit for those turbo  pipes!

Hi, John....I am obviously missing something  here.....If the intercooler air feef comes off, what prevents the engine from  just being a normally aspirated engine at that point?  Restrictions to  intake?   Curious minds want to know.  Glad to hear you're  getting ready to do more flight testing and feed us hungry dogs a few more  morsels of performance numbers.  Paul Conner

 

Overproped condition I think?
