the logical answer is to add more fuel.

are you using a wideband? have you checked your plugs?

what size injectors do you have? slap on a fmu and throw in a walbro. if it's stock go with a 12:1 disc on the fmu. don't drive the car until you do this. purchase an afc and go to your dyno and go and tune it.....or save up and buy a hondata. oh no, turbocharging and doesn't have a clue about it.....all i can say is due a compression check you could've already ruined your motor.

Sure, head back down to the shop that tuned your uberdata/hondata/aem/haltec/motec/vafc-hack/fmu set-up and ask them to take a look at your air/fuel ratio. Tell them your automter air/fuel ratio gauge is only lighting up in the red.
It's kind of hard to help you with NO information provided.
I'll help you if you tell me how to fix my oil leak, it's coming from the front of the car, please tell me whats leaking and how to fix it.

I have heard of people running an FMU crossing the lines up. It runs fine until you hit high/full boost then it goes lean. Make sure its hooked up right!

my boi had an fmu and his vafc and was leaning out at 6psi. we just threw some 440cc injectors in took the fmu out and set the fuel pressure reg. at 50 at idle. now he's running rich at 6psi, but thats what we want until he gets his hondata hooked up, so atleast you would know you not going to detnate with too much fuel. so that's my suggestion until your car is tuned.

it shouldnt lean out at 7psi. FMU's ten to over fuel a bit at that low of a boost level. u sure u have the lines right on the fmu?

A wastegate won't cause a rich or lean condition, it regulates boost pressure. Unless the wg is crap it should hold boost at whatever psi it's set for. The only time a lean condition can be contributed to a wastegate is if it's spiking, but thats not the wastegate thats making you run lean its the extra boost pressure without the extra fuel. But you said your only boosting 7psi so it's not your wastegate

i think your problem is that you are using an INTANK fuel pump when you should be using an inline fuel pump.. inline fuel pumps are capable of supporting high fuel pressures needed, especially for those using FMU's.

Intank pump are fully capable of supporting 7psi of boost with stock injectors, UNLESS the intank is stock.
