Tomorrow (today) is my day off work, so I am going to check out both and I will let you know if either fixes the problem. Thanks for the input. On the wastegate hose, is there something specific I should be looking for? Leak? Clogged line?

Are you referring to the short hard plastic line off the back of the wastegate that runs only about what looks to be 6in long when taken off?

Replaced the leaking pump, and checked the line off the wastegate. Small stock plastic line seemed a little restrictive and seemed to be the cause of the problem. Replaced the line with 3/8 fuel line and with both fixes, power is restored! Thanks for that one. The idle is still rough as can be however, think its going to shake the car apart! Im guessing the valve adjustment and timing issues are the cause? As well as the smoky exhaust?

Hows the 2-micron baldwin fuel setup you have? Do you have a link to a kit available?
