when i am on vac. it would be around stoich and when I go into boost it will go from rich/stoich to lean. Let off the gas/out of boost, it go back to rich.
(dam it, i should have gotta a wideband)
I am thinking it is the fuel system.

check your plugs ... a few things happened to me when I was turbo'ed with the sf kit:
- the white plastic parts on the plugs cracked due to detonation, which caused my plugs to misfire (plastic was covering the spark electrode)
- sf fuel pump was cracked and leaking ... causing me to run lean and detonation (I didn't know until I sold the kit)

I am getting to the point of doing a k20a3 or upgrade the whole fuel system to RSX-s Injectors w/ e-manage and tune it.
I really don't want to do a swap, because of all those $$$ I had alreeady put into this turbo (not to mention about the upgrade tranny (clutch & flywheel))
What do you guys think?
