You need to get a wide band on it. Its really the best way to tune IMO. Do you have a FPR? What injectors are you running? Are you running an open BOV (venting to atmosphere) did you change out your fuel pump?

Your running on a basemap that is why you are so rich. Get it dyno tuned by someone who knows what they are doing. Then do some research on turbocharged hondas.
