Great description, teoman.
On the point of vacuum control in general... My understanding is that the Chevy ecotec turbo engines are vacuum controlled somehow. I learned this at a Chevy dealership, looking over a running and partially disassembled 2012 Chevy Sonic 1.4L turbo that I was considering buying and that had just thrown a code for the vacuum system.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
