I'm thinking you are actually running lean. Did the car come with the stock ecu and stock parts? I would try to get it back to stock as soon as possible. The tune could be garbage and damaging your engine.

hi thanks for the welcomes. id say its more running rich if anything? soon as u start up the engine u can smell abit of petrol. seems on hot days that it pop abit more then normal. yes ive got the standard ecu n cat. do these ecu's really make that much of a differance to stock? or would the cat help? had a little play with the vx220 didnt really stand a chance tbh. mods are richmond final drive 1.57 if i remember? mugan ecu toda manifold decat exhaust.prob should stick it on a dyno to see if fuelling is correct?
