He's running AFC hack so he should have injectors... Maybe one of them is seized up, but not enough info to make that determination... ...

do you have an adjustable regulator or stock? did you take the vacuum line of it to try to lower fuel pressure at idle?

what fuel pump?
And you cant tune with your air/fuel ratio gauge unless it's a wide band. If it's just hook up to your stock o2 sensor it's worthless. It's only accurate enough for a bone stock car, it can only read accuratly close to atmospheric pressure (14.7:1) since you run richer when you go turbo (12.0:1 +/- a little) it cant accuratly readd the air fuel ratio. Mine reads the same (2-3 bars into the green) at 12.1:1 air fuel ratio as at 10.0+:1 ratio (still 2-3 bars into the green). It reads the same if i'm exreeeeemly rich or just perfect. I learned that by tuning my car with a wide band o2.
