I've had this problem for a while that every time I shift or let off the gas reguardless if im in boost or not, it runs super rich at like 10.0 and I didnt have my bov recirculated. Today I recirculated it and its still the exact same, car runs super rich between my shifts and if im at a high rpm like 3k and I push in the clutch my rpms fall below idle and it shuts off but then once in a while it catches and turns back on. Also after its running super rich if I hit the gas it goes super lean and then corrects itself. I thought these two problems would be gone when I recirculated the bov:ohdamn: What else could it be? I also wanted to add when my car feels like its about to shut off, my afr's are rich like in the 11's. :confused:
 
no I dont, I have stock fuel system. my mods are a fmic, 60 trim turbo, aftermarket exhaust manifold, downpipe, external wastegate, exhaust, fp intake and xs bov(which is now recirculated) and idk if this matters I just put in a mbc LOL.

Ill do a boost leak test tomorrow at the shop and see what the outcome is.

What should I look into for running rich?
 
I have the same exact issue as the OP stated. I have a CBV(resirc) and a EWG(vented). I also have a big leak from my oil-catch can that needs to be fixed. I would try making a BLT(boost leak tester) and do a BLT, your car can throw away the metered air the ECU is thinking that is going in or, pull in un-metered air also. Worth a try.
 
+1 on the boost leak test, make sure ## BOV is on right, and if someone else installed the FMIC for you check that out first. But if your sure u did it right, check it anyways =] :rocks:
 
im having the same problem right now. sombody told me it might be my fpr so i got a adjustable one today. ill try it tomarrow and let you know what happens.
