fixed the running rich problem

wow, how dumb do i feel... i am kind of embarrased to actually say what was really wrong with the car.

to make a long story short, i bought hard piping for the inner cooler from cool eeze and never installed the hard pipe from the turbo to inner cooler i just left it stock.

well the stock rubber piping had what i call a "ninja crack" in it. you know, a crack that is only there under boost. like a flap that opens up durring boost.

well this explains the rich problem, the excesive turbo spool up sound and the not so loud blow off valve.

i checked the piping so many times and neglected to check the stock piping at the turbo because i never took it off.

it is definately fixed now. i am back to 10psi of boost and the car is feeling extremely strong again.

thanks again to everyone who gave great advice.
