I would take your car to Neptune Speed in Huntington Beach. You really shouldn't be running no cat, without a ported wastegate or ecu upgrade, thats the easiest way to damage your engine.

You have the stock ECU? Stop driving it immediately and take it to the suggested shop. Running rich is a hell of a lot better than running lean.

a vacuum leak after the throttle body will cause it to run excessively rich, as the MAP sensor thinks the engine is under a load.
