Alright so I noticed a strong smell of gas every now and then while im driving and i run very rich while acceleration which i herd was normal for turbo cars. but then i was thinking maybe im getting too much fuel period due to the EXTREMELY bad gas mil age maybe 10mpg if that i even try and stay outta boost and i still get very bad gas mil age.... now i was reading about the FPR and how its normally on the driver side meaning before the fuel rail right ? mines after the fuel rail is that normal ??? does that mean it needs X amount of psi to return the gas meaning if it don't hit that psi its just wasting gas and flooding the engine correct ? i had it normally set to about 36 idle and about 41 WOT is that tooo much ? i also read up on some other reasons for gas and i read that the stock spoiler holes can create a vacc and pull exhaust into the car i taped them off from the inside and imma see how that holds up see if that dampers the sent alittle, all vacc leaks are sealed and exhaust leaks also, o2 seem to be fine too. any idea? its not that noticeable to me but anyone who drives w me says its very strong i must be use to it ..... but i really am not liking this gas MPG...........

1998 420A-T, 650 injectors, walbro pump, AEM FMU 60 mm turbo.
 
could this be a clogged Fuel Filter? but i do get 40+ psi of fuel keep that in mind AND spark plugs are fiarly new
