check tps, maf, boost leaks, coolant temp sensor (the one for the ecu, the two wire one) or the fuel pressure reg.

all of these can make the car run rich if they're bad or there is a wiring issue with one of them.hope this helps

i did do a boost leak test i filled it with air from the turbo inlet and as soon as i stop feeding air it will leak out pretty quick then slow down around 5psi but there is no leaks from the couplers all the t-bolts are tight idk where the air can be going but i sprayed soapy water everywhere and no leaks the throttle plate is closed too is it normal for the pressure to drop like that?
