      It's not a head gasket.

      It's running ridiculously rich at idle (9.5-9.9) The "sard" fpr pressure guage is bouncing all over the place between 2bar - 5bar, the fuel pump sounds as though its pulsing not flowing, and there's a massive exhaust leak off the top mount manifold.

      Try to open the throttle plate at idle sometimes and it just try's to die.

      Thoughts?

        well its clearly flooding out. ive had a fuel pressure regulator break on me (aem) car would run stupid rich and just flood out all the time. eventually starting dumping uncontrolled amounts of fuel into each cylinder. how do the plugs look? are they wet with fuel?

          Ended up being the maf wiring running along the strut tower. The turbo melted it to ****. So after about 2 hours of redoing the wiring and such all is well.

              Probably shorting to the chassis and sending like a full strength flow signal to the ecu. Sounds just a bit worse than mine currently running on untuned rb26 injectors!

                everything was shorting in that little area lol

                serious at least 3 wires that had completely NO covering on it at all, and all the rest melted together at once point or another. lets just i will getting some heat wrap for it to make sure it doesnt happen again.
