Default carbon build up problem

i installed a turbo (drag gen 3) on my 97 integra ls. it is running very very rich and has been for about 7 to 9,000 miles. And i just noticed that when i get on it, it pops a lot at high rpm's. and my friend told me it was spitting out black smoke. is this just a lot of carbon build up. and if it is how can i help clean it out if there is a way to do so. thanks

seafoam plus techron fuel injection cleaner. probally together about $15. Don't forget to do an oil change after the seafoam.

what about your injectors, stock? if so, you might want to upgrade to a 450cc mitsubishi eclipse injectors (best bang for the buck, IMO) if you have the funds, try to go hondata w/ boost option...
