So my SR is running rich. I don't know why but I know its not good. It has a FPR with a gauge that is reading 23~ psi. Its leaving tiny dots of gas on the rear bumper, and puffing a little bit when I leave from a stop. The oil smells like gas also.. Not good. Please help... I've searched with no good results... Any Ideas? If I run more boost will this cure the problem? Or is it the O2 sensor?

dont try to cover up your problems..fix them..first of all your fuel pressure should be at 43 with the vacuumm line disconnected..thats probably why you are sputtering when starting out because of low fuel pressure..try adjusting that and see if that stops the sputtering if it does then it is probably likely that the o2 sensor is bad

Its not sputtering at all when I start, just puffing a little black smoke. I'm going to try disconnecting the FPR, see if that solves anything. Thanks though
