I am really stoked that it is finally working as it should. As a bonus, it sounds like you still have some wiggle room with the fuel screw. Looking forward to seeing what it can do with the screw turned up even louder. I think you are going to be looking at a bigger turbo soon!
Considering the stock engine, with super restrictive exhaust and small intercooler, is rated at 135 hp I would bet that 165-180 is possible with some additional fuel and some turbo mods, given the stuff you've already done.
It's hard describing speed and power through seat of the pants and especially since we all have different daily drivers and reference points, but from your description, it sounds like you might have had a problem with the 3AT pump from the get-go. Mine is no rocketship, but it does pickup and go pretty good, and I really only notice the lack of power at highway speeds and when towing. My 0-60 time is around 16 seconds, I haven't really measured it very precisely, and it's probably quicker now on the winter 265/75R16s, and it feels faster because it's so torquey.
If someone is trying this swap, I think the parts list above is the best possible overall end result if you plan on getting over 145 hp, but it is probably the most difficult to source because you need parts from two different Fusos. Using the fully electronic 3AT series, as it stands now, doesn't provide the same level of tune-ability as what's described above, but you can get away with one single donor truck.
My 3AT model runs great and I am happy with the power output so I probably won't mess with it a whole lot more, but it's definitely no hot-rod. I'd bet once Superhatch gets this thing dialed in, it will be a rocket. Hell, it has a red intake manifold
Just give that screw a couple of whirls and drive it with your pyro
