Currently right now I have 550's, stock FP, stock FPR and I'm running a td06h 20g. I just got my SAFC hooked up and it has been smoking like something horrid. I pulled my plugs and they were saturated with fuel.

Could someone give me their basic nothing fancy base tune so I can lean it out a tad and get it to stop smoking like something out of James Bond?

You don't have to post it public, just pm me if you dont mind.

Or could someone point me in the right direction on how much fuel I shoudl take out?
 
Well, for one, your turbo is a 20G, it is going to pull so much, and you can't supply it with enough fuel on that setup, you can tune all you want with that SAFC, and it will not work. You are giving it enough air, but not on the fuel side. I just had that prob with mine, you are running way to rich, your plugs are fouled out, that is why they are saturated with fuel. Get a wideband, keep your safc, and get a fuel system, that wont hold up. I would check to see if your Head Gasket is warped or not. Coolant could be leaking, and that could be bad, real bad if you dont get that checked out.... :talon:
 
Its blue smoking and has a hint of blakc to it. It seems as if it is supplying it with enough fuel since my a/f gauge is constantly pegged out on rich and thats all you can smell from the exhaust is fuel...
