Help with UICP...

I swapped my Turbo XS UICP with ETS and went from HKS SSQV to Tial "Q" and now my car is running rich at WOT. Why would it make that much of a difference.

Is running rich a sign of boost leak?

Would make sense, MAF recorded X amount of air, some leaks out so you get a less air into the engine, while still adding the same amount of fuel so it would end up being rich.

Best to do a boost leak test anytime you change out anything that could cause a boost leak.
