Ok, so you're not using a turbo inj. pump. How does the power compare 
with the old engine after adding just the turbo? Just curious, since 
my TD is really weak if the enrichment hose is left off (as some 
VW "specialist" did after servicing my car :(. I also noticed 
however, that the engine runs *much* cooler when enrichment is not 
happening, which makes sense - less fuel=less heat.

Do you have a source for these, and how much? What's the correct temp 
ranges for this engine?
