  I de-attached the CIS fuel distributor from the air flow sensor housing, kept the sensor connected and functional to
  eliminate any chance for limp mode.

• You could find a broken timing belt cover and cut out parts that your RPM signal is sticking out. That way at least you would have a cover over the rest of it.
  
  Also I thought it wasn't an eco pump as I thought they had the fast idle and I don't see that on yours.
  That CIS fuel distributor is going to be a restriction I bet.

  The car is under long term test, a lot of work still to do, crank vent included.
