Icon2 B18 boosted Gas Fumes at Boost! Need help!

Hey Everyone,
I have a B18A1 in a del Sol boosted at 6psi with an eBay turbo kit. I just got it back from tuning on Monday and im having "headache" fumes at boost. I also am getting 18-19 mpg taking it easy when before turbo I was getting 32-35 mpg. Is there any simple diagnostics I can do to improve fuel and get rid of the fumes? This is my first turboed car and I am lost when it comes to diagnosing a kit.

PS I am not running a Catalytic Converter... Just straight back to a cannon.

Thanks in advance!

A/Fs are good I think. It runs optimal at idle and cruising. Yes it has been tuned

Something else I left out. Today when I started it up for the first time since last night I would hit the gas lightly as I was pulling away and the motor would stall for a split second like too much fuel was being put into the motor. Any ideas now?

Anyone??

Do you have a wideband to read your A/F's?

Does seem like it was tuned properly to me AND you have a leak somewhere. Take it back to the tuner and tell them to fix it!

Thats what I was thinking too. I just wanted to see if there was something simple first. I do have a wideband, and 450 injectors. Fuel system is basic except walbro 255 fuel pump.
