If you don't have a compression gauge they are pretty cheep and they can tell a lot about your internals. It is always good to have one. Wait around for a experienced turbo guy for the fuel cut question. I hope this helps a little bit.

Hey thanks man. The black smoke I have is definitely just unburned fuel. It's running very rich. I don't know if it's a problem with the new AFM or what? That's why I was considering advancing the timing a bit but I don't know if I should. And also I did a compression test not too long ago and everything is peachy. So yeah I'm just waiting for that good turbo guy to point me in some direction. I'm fully capable I just don't know where to start lol. thanks again
