Default Fuel smell normal during boost? (ext wastegate + open dump tube)

Hi
Im smelling gas in 4th and 5th at about 7psi boost, anyone know if this is normal with an external dump and wastegate? smell goes away when I let off and you cant smell it when powering through the lower gears. Lm-1 showing a flat lined rich spot at about 8100rpm right near the limit..... im wondering if this is some sort of soft limiter?

b16a2 eg
Peakboost (gt30)
Vibrant 3" catback

TIA Andy.

Totally normal. With an open gate, expect your clothing to always smell like fuel.
