Need advice on which stock base map to start with??
I just got around to getting and installing my PFC last week. I've read over every setup guide available here tons of times to make sure I got everything running properly. I still however have a very vague idea of actual tuning. I will be getting a professional tune, but I'm still waiting to install my intercooler and get a wideband first.
So here's my situation, I set everything up using the "newer" stock base map and lowered the values on the IGT at high boost as recommended. After running the car now for about a week, I can tell that my car is running rich because I can smell it at both idle and WOT. The "newer" base map is supposed to be good for an intercooler and high-flow/mid pipe which I do not have yet. So I'm assuming this is why I'm running rich. Again I'm just going by feel because I don't have an A/F meter yet to know for sure. Now my question is should I stay using the "newer" stock base map? Or should I switch to the "older" stock base map which is supposed to be only for an intake and catback? Or maybe something in between would be better?
My mods are on my sig, so you can evaluate from there.
For reference again, I do not have a datalogit or a/f meter. I just want to make sure that I don't potentially ruin anything before I can get a pro-tune.
I'd appreciate any help and thanks in advance!

Regardless I'll be sure to not boost until I get a proper tune. Thanks
