    idle issue.

    You should use a timing light to set 10 degrees BTDC. Just attach the light to the battery and the inductive pickup to the 1# spark plug wire. As far as the boost controller it should be counter clockwise to reduce boost pressure.

    question about reinstalling engine...

    Get it in yet? Yeah MS: Everything ;) I even went as far to unplug the ECU harness and pull out from the firewall. Its real easy to wire up the entire engine this way. Then just pull the harness back through the firewall to plug back in.
