Ok well i havnt had any DSM problems besides there a pain to work on cause what should take an hour takes 4hrs etc etc.. Anyways ive got my SAFC2 in along w/ my FMIC the other day an ever since i started messin w/ the safc my car runs like shit now..i messed w/ the low throttle settings.. i dunno but at idle if i let it sit an then i take off a HUGE cloud of white smoke pours out, when i hit 5krpms it like backfires/bogs down so i shift an it shoots white smoke.. Im guessing this means too rich? well i dont WHAT the settings are for stock injectors (im getting my RC 550s anyday now just gotta pick them up,hopefully tmrw).. But what could this be? Cause there was an older guy in a WRX an i wanted to race him but then i notced the bogging/white smoke so i said hell no LOL.. So just some tips would be great an is there ANYWAY to set the SAFC2 back to normal like my settings? I only screwed with the low throttle one, that i kno of i think there was one other thing i cant remember, its so confusing.. But this stuff has to stop its annoying LOL.. Ahh anyways let me kno what u think. Thanks-

Black Smoke=too much fuel (rich)
Blue Smoke=burning oil (turbo seals, rings,valve stems,etc)
White Smoke=coolant (headgasket and ???)

Stock settings for stock injectors is 0 across the board.
