Super Rich , Bad Stumbling...help Apriciated

For Starters , The Mods

Engine:
-rebuild... 10,000 miles ago
-non seq turbos
-block off plates
-1300 secondaries
-stock ic
-koyo rad.
-STREET PORT
-K&N intake
-PFC commander
-3in down pipe
-3inch custom mide pipe
-Apex GT exhaust

Now the symptoms

My PFC was "accidentally" re "initialised" By a friend before it was , the car ran FANTASTIC , i mean beautifully

I found maps of cars with similar mods online and used them.. (i dont have the datalogit so i had to put them in with the fc manually) , The car screams when its not breaking up...

the car no matter what gear , what temp , breaks up horrably at 4k rpm untill i give very little throttle then will pass 4k and take off like a rocket ship , however , if i floor the car under boost , it pops breaks up and just runs like total garbage...infact the only way i can drive the car now is to give it very little gas and let off even more when the car gets to higher rpm ranges and breaks up... Its not a suttle break up , its a horrable "im not going any faster screw you mr driver" breakup and it will just hover at the rpm range its breaking up at untill i let off, then once again take off like mad. It back fires , and pops under decel , and inbetween shifts

Ive been told its running rich , also plugs i put in 2 months ago , are solid black , and show visable carbon deposits ,as far as plugs im running all 9's

Now im not some super tuner ,but im pretty sure its the PFC settings...its going to be tuned in 3 weeks , but i was hoping someone on here could help me atleast make it somewhat driveable untill i get the tuning done....any help greatly apriciated! , if someone local would like to look at it , and can get it to run better il throw you a few bucks... thanks in advance - Dale

Have you checked the MAP sensor? Make sure the PFC is seeing the boost setting in the Monitor section and it corresponds with your boost gauge.

Do you have a different MAP sensor than the stock RX-7 sensor? If so, you'll have to tell the PFC that you've got one - the Init All would set everything back to the stock MAP sensor.

Damn are you brave to be running full throttle with a fu**ed up map. Did you change the size of your secondaries to 1300 with the commander?
