can you throw a wideband into it and see what AFR's it's running? These cars run pretty rich all the time. With the intake and exhaust, i would think you'd be running leaner though...

How much boost is the car making at WOT?

Mine has a safe street tune, and a functioning main cat, but I have a catless downpipe. Until I get it really hot, all you can smell is fuel at idle. I wouldn't worry about that much.

i dont have a boost gauge, and its a jspec so i dont have a pre cat on the downpipe either. also when heatsoaked the car hesitates. i think think might all be fixed by regrounding everything
