Anyone with Rtek 1.7.......

Is anyone else with the Rtek 1.7 running unbelievably rich? I understand to fully tune my air/fuel I need to upgrade to a better management system and that in high boost applications it's better to run richer than leaner, but this is rediculous. I've also used the stock air/fuel adjuster to lean it out as much as possible, but it doesn't seem to make much difference. My T2 stinks like fuel bad. I also don't have any exhaust leaks, blown pulsation dampner, or fuel leaks. Anybody have this same problem?

I'm also guessing by leaning out a little more I can produce more power.

Yeah mine did. An air/fuel computer really helps fine tune it.

My car bucks and hesitates at the injector switch. I've yet to put a wideband on it though.

Could a clogged charcoal canister make a car stink like burnt fuel?
