ok so my 420a head got ported my question is ,how to run rich in a newly built motor built for turbo but n/a at the moment?because im sure imma be running lean, I googled some of this and only found that warmer air or bigger injectors any one have any other idea what i can do? :confused:
 
But before doing so, either buy a wb02 or rent some wideband-on-a-stick time from a dyno shop to be certain.
 
Why run rich or find ways to do it ? I would say first get the turbo in and all the supporting mods on the car, then after all is said and done get yourself a wideband and tune your car from there till you get a decent a/f mix. Take your time, don't start planning way ahead.

That's a nice way to foul your plugs and have you car running sluggish along with a decrease in MPG. You will be fine with the stock ecu the way it is...for now.
