something isnt right then, who chipped your ecu, who did the fuel map changes, whats the fuel pressure at currently, what fuel pump are you using. need some more info.

False ^

I'm currently running stock fuel pump. With a B&M fpr, it will make 60 psi. That's plenty for my DSM 450s on my CRVTEC at 8 psi. I've got a good tune and room to up the boost before maxing out the duty cycle. Just sayin'

my bad i thought that maybe it sounded like your pressure was too low but if your running rich then thats deffinitely not it lol. did you try getting a basemap made for your setup? that might help to make it run decent till you get it tuned..

Sounds like car is running rich. Pull the plugs out and check you should be able to tell.
