I To make a long story short, I was installing my fp 68hta today. I got my manifold off and it started to rain (I was outside) so I threw my gasket and manifold back on and now my car runs 2 psi higher. I used to run 14 psi at 10.0 afr. Now I'm getting 16 psi at 12.8. Also my idle afr used to be 14.9 its now 11.5. Help please. This car is my dd and I work 7 days a week.

I would say do a boost leak check. Id pretty much garentee thats what it is. If not then post back and il give you more advice just sending you to the most likely first.:thumb:
I also just seen you installed a new turbo. Its going to flow more air at the same psi so thats why your AFR could be out of wack also.
 
The problems could also seem better if the ecu has been able to adjust to get everything back in a decent operating range.

I would still suggest doing the boost leak test b/c the ecu may have started to compensate for it and for warning if you have a boost leak and you fix it, the car will act weird until it learns that it doesn't have to compensate for the leak anymore.
