    Mine sways from 14.5 to 15 at idle. Driving stays like that. When I jump on the throttle it gets lean and will rich back up after a second. I think my o2 is getting old. Open loop part throttle it will jump in the 10s. Open loop wot in the low to mid 11

    Nice, that's about where mine was. Every now and then it would show full rich at idle though. If it's not raining when I get off I'm going to get it out and drive it around and see what it looks like.

    Also my bov was only opening after revving to WOT. This mean the spring is too stiff? Could I just cut it down some? I'm not sure what spring rate is in it. It's a knockoff and the springs weren't labelled

    @MadTaco461 any reason it would go full lean if I just bump the gas? It also goes full lean everytime I clutch in or let off the gas. Boost controller is 100% closed and I'm seeing 6-7psi and 12-13 AFR under load. If I go from a stop or slight roll straight to WOT it gets real lean 16-17 AFR and doesn't want to richen back up. If I get my rpm's up by downshifting before going WOT it doesn't lean out and stays at 12-13.

    All I've got for exhaust is just the downpipe. In the instructions it said to mount the wideband 36" away from the turbo, mine is 29" and is right where the wastegate converges with the turbo downpipe. Also the downpipe ends about 1.5" after the wideband, think it could be picking up outside air?

    @Mc1337sauce I'd also like to hear your opinion on this as well

    @Mothman came over for a bit and we managed to get a quick vid together. Just a little cruising around, still showing a little lean at WOT from time to time and showing lean and wanting to die when clutching in to stop. Overall it's running pretty good though
