I'm rich!!!

Ok so ever since I used the boxed tune that comes with the garret alpha kit, my idle has been at 10.5-11/1. It's fine when I step on the gas (12.7-14.8/1). Any one else have this problem. Also I might be making to much boost. Kit is supposed to run 8psi. I'm at 10 and braking the tires loose when the turbo spools in 1st. Love the power, don't want to break my car though.

i think he means when he give it gas, like start to move the car, but idling that rich is crap man, my a/f's are 14.2 when @idle, 14.2 when crusing, sometimes i get 14.7, but rarely, dont know why yet, its not the connection from the gauge to lc1 bc in log works it shows the same thing...but enough of that...

What he said ^^^. Im thinking it might be the SCT tune. Before I installed the turbo and tuned it it was idleing in the 14's and WOT was in the high 10's.

I got it off ebay new for around 3.2K. It's fairly easy to install. Took me about a day and a half to install it myself.
