I think you have a bunch of problems. What size is the turbo? What kind of engine management does the car have? Got any pics of the set-up?

what are the specs on the t3/t4? (trim and a/r?)
what color is the smoke? When does the smoke come out of the exhaust?
5-15mpg when you are WOT all the time? or just normal "not in boost" driving

sounds like it's running rich as fawk
black smoke = rich
shitty mph= rich
no REAL tune = probably rich
get some real fuel manegment in there and it should solve your probelms

Re: (crxtcy89)
Honestly, you should throw it in the nearest trash can. The guage is highly inaccurate. It puts on a better light show than it actually functions. Either get a wide-band O2 sensor, or better yet, take your car to a dyno and have the shop do some A/F readings with their equipment. Like the other guy mentioned, it sounds like you are running rich, which on a turbo'd engine is probably safer than going lean.

Re: (Redline130)
Do you have any blow by? I just fucked my LS-turbo last week. I think my ringlands are destroyed but I won't know til I pull the motor.
