Sady (Szady on the boards).. and myself boosted my car this weekend, running the following:

Autoworks kit.. consisting of:
Garrett T3/T4 .60 .48 a/r
Cast Iron Log Mani
3" downpipe
Tial wastegate
HKS SSQV3

As well as 440cc DSM blue tops
Chipped P06, "basic boost" basemap.. just a map letting me drive to the tuner
Wideband A/F gauge

Now, idling and driving the A/F ratio was down to 10... when shifting that beast would jump up to 20...

I know the car isn't tuned yet (it's at the tuner now), so is this why the A/F ratio is erratic and way off?

Otherwise car runs pretty well.. I stayed out of boost on the way to the tuner (~40 mins away).. at a nice easy 60mph all the way there...

Oh and the exhaust ended at the midpipe lol.. it was way off and didn't hang right, so I drove now with no muffler...

Here's a teaser pic btw... =P

should be on all the way haha.... except the p/s pump is in the way to run a filter off the turbo.. will a little mesh be fine, or should I be able to find a tiny filter for it?

it just looks like the belt is a bit off because i can see part of the pulley on the right but not on the left, but its just what i see through pictures
AUTOZONE sells small filters that should fit, they are like 2-3 inches high which should clear

Got the car back from the tuner..

made 230whp.. BUT:
I think I have a bad flowing injector. This happened on the dyno too.. I would randomly go super lean to the point the car would almost stall...

I also got a flashing CEL once.. code 20 (ELD) and code 17 (VSS). I plugged in the VSS (came unplugged somehow) and now I have no CEL's at all.

As for the injector issue, I'm told by the tuner not to drive it much until I fix that lean issue. Does that sound like a clogged injector to you? I know one of the ones I got was clogged and was sprayed out with carb cleaner; however I think they should be professionally cleaned. Thoughts on that?
