Re: Does this look lean? (CycloneBlue_1.6EL)
from the looks of the head compared to the plugs it looks like you have a large band from rich to lean. maybe rich at driving and lean at full throttle? also looks like you were burning a little oil ?

I noticed the difference too, that's why I posted it. Maybe it's normal for a turbo car... those plugs are pretty much brand new (about 3 weeks). I don't burn any oil that I know of. Between oil changes, I might add 1 quart, but I don't usually bother.

Re: Does this look lean? (CycloneBlue_1.6EL)
dude you have got the same thing that i had... when i first turboed my y8, basicly whats happing is what like what hams saying, your driving rich, then when you step on the gas, its staying at the same amount so its running lean, i had to run a stand-a-lone system, since most of the stuff out there seems like its for the b- stuff, so thats what i think is happing to you, well thats what happened to me..

ARP, GE blockguard and new OEM head gasket.
I think I may bring it back to the tuner for a "touch-up" to see what's going on.
