You should have never messed with anything until you knew what you were doing. You should drive the car under the parameters it is currently tuned for.If the boost level was at the same setting it was when you bought the car, you could have just driven <25% throttle and just never got into boost if you were that worried about it.

What are you talking about? I didn't mess with anything for that exact reason! I haven't chanegd anything, I'm just asking about my air/fuel ratio! And about the boost controller I haven't changed anything, but he had rewired or reset it like a week before I bought the car so all the settings on the boost controller are just stock, which is just the stock boost of the turbo. So the most boost it will get until I tune the Greddy EBC is 2 psi, but he tells me to keep it 8-9 max when I do tune it.

Can someone reccomend a good wideband guage? Is there any other way to see what my air/fuel is actually at and would it be normal that when you let go of the gas it leans out? And my last question is should I bring the car to a mechanic to get it tuned on a dyno just so it will run at its best?
Thanks guys and I appreciate all the advice.

Sorry for the double postand thatI haven't been able to get a picture yet I've been very busy, I will try to get a pic A.S.A.P. What I would really like to know though since it has kind of been worrying me is isit be normal that when yourelease thegas pedal or just backoff the gas pedal alot the air/fuelleans out? Do you think this is just my guageand if so can someone reccomend a good wideband guage preferably blue led if not just any led?
Thanks Again

EDIT: I like this Cobalt guage, anyone know if this one is dependable and anywhere they can reccomend to buy it from that ships to Canada? I found it on www.jegs.com but the shipping seems kind of expensive.
