Default LSturbo problem

just turboed the ls about 3 weeks ago, the car was running around 5psi and the a/f at wot was around a mid to high 11. problem is, finally after getting the car started, because the car would not start until we changed the distributor and some old sparkplugs gapped at .050 the car is now idling with the a/f at low 10's. The sparkplugs were drentched with gas.

this is what ive changed: swapped the dsm 450's for another set, changed out the stock fpr for another, that is basicly it i just dont understand why it would be dumping so much fuel all of asudden.

fuel management is dsm 450's with turboedit software
any info would be much appreciated

yea sounds like a limp mode thing. i was there briefly the other day and i was spitting wet fuel out of my exhaust tip. not good.

other small possibility is the coolant temp sensor. if malfunctioning it can cause you to run rich as hell.

are you throwing any engine codes???

Im throwing out a code 8 which said its TDC sensor, thats about it, the car is shooting out the white smoke that dissapears right away and some fuel out the tailpipe. If it was the coolant temp sensor, would a code appear?
