BTW, if Im running that rich, Would the stock injectors, the walbro, and a haltech be able to support 12-13 psi on the stock turbo?

All on 4x 550's?
Ill be able to lean it out some and get better mpg once the Haltech is on, right?

The stock ecu really limits the injectors. Getting a standalone or piggy back which removes that limit gives you a lot more room to play with. Just tune it with a wideband o2. If you find the injectors arent keeping up then upgrade.

In that case, Ill just hold off on the 720's until I get a bigger turbo.
And yeah. My plan was to drive the car up to the local dyno right away and use their wideband to see how it was doing.

Keep Right Except to Pass
I wouldn't go by the gauge to figure mpg. Too inaccurate. Record mileage & how much you fill each time. The more miles you can do your calculations on, the more accurate the result will be.
Just for reference I'm getting near 20 on average with my setup. Take into account that I drive pretty easy 90% of the time. My overall ave. over 15k mi. is 19.71.

Now Im super stoked I can use the 550's though
That means I can get an even better IC

Isn't the Waldo just overwhelming the stock fpr and what is needed is to buy a aftermarket fuel pressure regulator??? Why not whip a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel line and find out how much higher you fuel rail pressure is than stock. Sounds like your wasting fuel.
Also maybe buy a afr from http://techedge.com.au/ and find out how toooooo rich you are really running.
