Progress!!! A certain I club member who may ID themselves if they wish was good enough to come down and get the car fired today.
There's a BIG vaccum leak which we need to hunt down. But at least we know where to go.

They couldn't get the engine to run long enough to get anything. You have to have an engine making vacuum (at least initially) to know it has a leak. My savior had a few tricks to get the car to fire so a diagnosis could be made.
I can't blame Mann for this one, they did didn't have the tools onsite to get the engine to fire initially. Mann is really more of a suspension shop and tends to farm out of of their advanced engine stuff to Cosworth and Delicious Tuning.

Well guys - it looks like the nightmare has ended... I picked the car up from Mann Engineering last night. The Flex Fuel setup is working and with a couple of little blips... the car feels VERY fast.
Right now - I need to put 1000 miles on the car and break-in the setup.
A couple of mentions/thank you's to
Mike Warfield from GST Motorsports, and Ed from EQ Tuning. When the project hit a wall, both guys saw I was having problems and offered to help out of the goodness of their hearts. Mike especially went out of his way to come down and troubleshoot a problem.
I can say without a doubt that these guys care about the I-Club Community and deserve your and my business.
