i have a lean idle/rich under boost,idle is 17afr and under full boost im seeing 10.0 afr.
boost leak tested the induction system at turbo inlet and only had minor leaks at 15 psi which i fixed,i then pressurised the exhaust and found a leak between the turbo and manifold which is now my suspect.

i understand how this will creat lean under idle as venturi effect from pulses draw air in but i dont understand how this could create a rich mix under wot because the manifold becomes pressurised how would this create a rich mix?

any thoughts?
