I don't know about the Intercooled turbo, but the stock '83 has a "Charge Air Pressure" switch on the firewall that should richen the mixture as soon as manifold pressure gets to about 3 psi.

It grounds Pin 7 on the Lambda ECU to force a preset duty cycle of something like 68° dwell (normal warm dwell is about 45°). This is the same preset value as when engine coolant is below 60° F.

As a quick test, go to the firewall switch and jumper the green wire to ground, then see if the A/Fmeter reads better. I wired ours to an unused instrument bulb so we could see when the switch closed.
