Alex nailed it. I forgot to install the little hose that runs from "extra boost" solenoid to the elbow on the intake. put it back in and wa-la, it idles. Funny how when things like this happen, I start thinking too much, worry about the CIS computer, start thinking about changing the throttle stop or adjusting the mixture when all I have to do is put it back together like it came apart.

The boost is back! Since this car's been down for 2 months, I've been driving a 81 245. I now realize how painfully slow the NA cars are and am very glad to be back in the land of forced induction!

Anyone who needs advice about putting center cartridges in Turbos, ask away, I've got some experience now. Amazing how I got receipts for $1100 turbo jobs when I bought this car. I just did it for $200.
