Hi guys!
I've been having this issue for like a week now car runs great but when under boost usually 10+ psi it smells like fuel as soon as I let off the throttle smell goes away.
Since I didn't found any related thread here I searched the web and on a few different forums they say it might be the injector seals, crack on the manifold, fuel leak somewhere or very rich mixture under wot.
It smells like raw fuel so I don't think is a crack or rich mixture I don't remember right now exactly what is my A/F under wot but it's around 10.x which is normal and I haven't messed up with fuel trims on link (recently) and I don't have any fuel upgrade yet on the car.
So only think left is fuel leak and injector seals, my first question is where should I start checking for fuel leaks? Can I turn on the fuel pump with link and check that way? Even if I don't think I'll find any leak this way because the smell comes only under high fuel pressure:hmm:
Also I have deleted the EGR recently but I didn't drove the car hard until a week ago, could this be the problem?
