I discovered what might be the solution for my rough / over rich running. I clicked the overall mixture down a couple of notches in mode 3, and now it starts right up first turn and runs much better.
 
And, for turbo people - I discovered a new, fairly benign, failure mode....
What happens when the intercooler air feed blows off at 300ft on climb out? I can tell you. The engine runs at 2500 rpm and wont go any higher. You level off at 400 ft, do a quick return to the field, cut off a Cherokee on downwind, turn a tight base and dump her back down. No problem. Underware intact. Gotta get a better fit for those turbo pipes!
