Yet another reason to hate the PO-

On Normy's car they were probably trying to compensate for an aged MAf, which will run weak. S2's are well known for being much more sensitive to a weak running MAF.
Although it will cheer up the mixture a bit, an aged MAF suffers from a slower response time.

Not sure where you are on this, is it still running rich. I had that problem w/'85. After the O2 is checked, I would check for vacuum leak as next cheapest thing to look at.

Anyway, I've been out of town on business for the past week, so I only had a chance to drive the car a few miles after I removed the broken resistor. It definitely has more driveability, and NO black smoke on acceleration. Power wise, it seemed about the same.
I installed an RRFPR late last year, and now that it looks like all the bugs are finally worked out [though I've said that before...], maybe its time to take it to a dyno and try to tune it properly. More on this later. What should an S2 5 speed with an Ott X and an RRFPR make on the dyno?
