ur probably still 2 rich at idle

but ur real problem is what u chose as fuel managment

an afc with bigger injectors would be much better than an fmu
the ideal would be for u to convert to 0bd1 and run uberdata

if you ran rich you could of fouled your plugs easy, why not new injectors
granted you have a small turbo but your pushing more fuel through stock injectors still

and yes get rid of fmu it is junk...
