And the running rich at idle thing could be caused by a few things.. quite simply the tune was for 630cc, and ajp is giving out 650. That by itself seems like it would cause the richness as idle. As far as esx005 running 10.5ish at idle he also is only at like 6 lbs of boost, when the tune is clearly for 8.5 lbs of boost. He also hasn't installed his vacuum block yet which will lean it out a little bit. I think that when he gets that installed and ups the boost to where it's supposed to be, he'll be idling around 11.5 - 12 too.

Idle has nothing to do with how much boost he is running. If he is running 10.5 a/f @ idle then that is completely horrible.. As a matter of fact, if that is true, then it should be smoking really bad @ idle or wanting to stall out.. Idle a/f should be pretty much in the 20's.. Anyways, Im not sure how they tune the car, whether its with the map or maf(even though I think they said that @ WOT the car uses solely the map sensor) but it shouldnt matter how high they tune the car for, anything under that should be running fine.. I've tuned before than I can tell you from experience. Tuning is done through tables and you tune for the values of rpm or map.. Even though I have no idea how the tuning is done through the stock ecu, basically all ecus work in the same way...

His plugs are fouled too.. and I'm afraid that he's going to change out the plugs before installing the block and upping the boost.. causing more fouled plugs.

If he is having problems with fuel then he needs to start checking his oil for the smell of gas.. Runing that rich gas can contaminate the oil which dillutes it and can cause cylinder scarring and other problems.. This should be taken care of before he makes any upgrades in boost...
