Well hell, I'm surprised she hasn't divorced you because you're keeping the car! Must be a keeper that one.

So far no driving has taken place. We are trying to trouble shoot wh I do not have the ability to make the idle mixture any leaner than ~11:1...

At least it's not the other way and you're trying to figure out why you can't get any richer than 18:1...

True, but when it's running so rich that the exhaust burns your eyes and gives you a headache...it's no fun

Brand new cylinder walls don't like to be washed of all their oil either.

11:1 is no good.

Very true, and I was aware of this and have not been running the engine very much, only 10-15 minutes at a time to try and lean things out (absolutely no driving). Turns out (after datalogging and e-mailing) that a few specific software options were on that shouldn't have and we can get it at least to the point where it isn't burning my eyes and giving me headaches. Tomorrow I will load the new map and hopefully we can start to dial in the AFRs.

Basic 944 turbo rule #1 –
Never start your car and rev it up if the back of your car is facing a white garage door….

Brand new exhausts will do this a lot worse – the engines do run on the rich side and all the carbon will collect in the exhaust – if its nice new stainless it does not stick to the interior of the exhaust well – and when all the condensation forms as it cools it will create a nice black sooty snot laden ‘sneeze’ when you start it up!

Or a freshly painted white factory wall, when the car is on the hoist turned on getting lifted up looking for exhaust leaks when i first bought the car...
