It was a mid 80's production, 84 or 85 with the new panel.

The Continental injection system was adapted to
turbocharging. It uses a fixed fuel metering based on rpm,
throttle and mixture setting. There is an upper deck fuel
pressure bleed on the turbo, to raise fuel pressure when the
boost is at above ambient [TO MAP was 39.5 "Hg.] But idle
mixture is set for sea level.

The problem was I had been recently flying another model
with Bendix injection, it has pressure balance mixture
control.

Live and learn.
