gas smell after install of turbo xs mbc

[bstclum]

I have a 1g awd. Ok, so I hooked up my mbc and cranked it up to 13lbs. Now i'm getting a smell of fuel after boost kicks in. I'm thinking that it might be my o2 but I just dont know. My buddy hooked his data logger up and the o2 read fine. Also the data logger showed that I only have 80% throttle, how can that be fixed? Any help would be great.


thanks.

Not too sure about the gas smell. . . perhaps you have a leak in the engine bay somewhere.

As for only having 80% throttle . . . 1st make sure when the pedal is fully depressed that the throttle body is actually opening up all the way. If it still only gives you 80% or so, you will need to adjust your throttle position sensor.

For that fuel smell, you can try and check the o-rings for the fuel injectors and/or the lower insulators. Fuel pressure rises with boost pressure. I had a fuel smell everytime I hit around 17 psi. It turned out to be #4 injector o-ring to be leaking.
