I pulled the UIM off and I have the injectors correct. For those who don't know. The injector wire colors are:
FP1 - BlueGreen w/Red stripe & White w/Blue stripe
RP1 - BlueGreen w/Black stripe & White w/Blue stripe
FS - Green w/Red stripe & White w/Blue stripe
RS - Blue w/Black stripe & White/Blue stripe
FP2 - Blue w/Black stripe & White/Blue stripe
RP2 - White w/Green stripe & White/Blue stripe
FP1 - BlueGreen w/Red stripe & White w/Blue stripe
RP1 - BlueGreen w/Black stripe & White w/Blue stripe
FS - Green w/Red stripe & White w/Blue stripe
RS - Blue w/Black stripe & White/Blue stripe
FP2 - Blue w/Black stripe & White/Blue stripe
RP2 - White w/Green stripe & White/Blue stripe

It is supposed to rain here for the next couple of days so I have some time to try some things.
First, I am going to pull the UIM back off. I will be checking the Purge Solenoid valve, catch tank, SSV, VDI, vacuum chamber, Oil Nozzle Bleed, and Jet Air Bleed. I will be installing a fuel pressure gauge and checking the fuel pressure. I will again be verifying the injector wiring and I will possibly remove and reinstall the injectors just to make sure they are seated properly.
After all that, I will be verifying the ignition wiring, connectors, and coils are all properly installed. I will be verifying the plug wires are properly connected and I will be checking the plugs again and replacing if necessary.
Finally, I am going to reposition the rotors so that the engine will hopefully hold pressure. Maybe RotoryGod or MM will chime in but I don't think there is any port overlap in the Renesis so I should be able to do this without corking the exhaust somehow.
If I can't find a problem by doing all this then I will try to find something to test the MAF sensor and MAF sensor tube. I don't have much room to move the sensor around but maybe repositioning it in the MAF tube a little further from the turbo inlet will help.
If none of this works I will probably push the thing out into the street, open the fuel tank, start the car, toss in a molotov coctail, and make smores.

If I were allowed to chime in I would tell you to place each rotor at "TDC" as that will isolate the intake and exhaust ports from one another. The only problem will be isolating each housing from the other.

I thought of that but in the log I took last night the airflow was much more stable. I want to try and eliminate any "other" possibilities before saying its MAF related and changing the setup in any way.

Now that I think about it, when rotor 1 is at absolute "TDC", with its apex between the intake and exhaust ports, rotor 2 may actually have both intake and exhaust ports closed, with its apex between the spark plugs.

The highest the intake vacuum has been is ~20inHg. I saw that at idle on a warm restart with a vacuum testing gauge. Most of the time its ~19inHg at idle when the car is warm. The vacuum reading on my boost gauge is just under 500mmHg at idle when the car is warm. This tells me the readings on the boost gauge and vacuum gauge are pretty accurate.
Is that vacuum reading really all that high? The factory service manual says 19.6 - 16.6inHg. I would say that it is in that range 99% of the time. The readings I told you about before were from the boost controler which is not accurate in vacuum. I bought a vacuum gauge and I dont look at the boost controller reading anymore.
