Default Idle problems

Hey gang,

Lat weekend I bolted the following stuff onto my 99 GSR

Current Boost - 7psi
Turbo - Garrett t3/t4 ballbearing
Wasegate - Turbonetics.
Blowoff - HKS Race Spec
Intercooler - Apex-i full front
In-line Fuel Pump - MSD
Boost dependent Fuel Regulator - Vortech
Boost and Air Fuel Gauges - R1
Exhaust Manifold - Revhard
Exhaust - Dynomax ST2 w/ custom mandrel bent 2.5" pipe

After driving for about a week my idle is now really rough. I have not been boosting hard or anything and the car boggs a little when I take off in 1st gear. I still have stock timing and intake manifold.

Any thoughts? Also, when I get on the gas a little I smell gasoline. Another problem is the boost cuts out once I hit 4 grand if I try to floor it.

I'm new to the turbo scene so, sorry for sounding like a major newb, I just don't want to hurt my engine.

Make sure the piping didnt blow off of the compressor or anywhere else that isnt too visable. I experienced this once, and the piping just blew off

Ok, checked the piping and everything is cool. So I'm running rich, how can I fix this?

Thanks guys!
