if bank 1 is detecting a false lean condition due to unmetered air, you'll see a big fluctuation in the reading on bank1o2 in freeze frame diagnostics. and was your pcm tune a mail order or real time tune?

*** you can also do a basic check if you have a good dtc reader. if your fuel trim is running greater than 10%, the computer is trying to compensate for something. one thing to remember here is that your car is supercharged. its better to run lean with boost than rich, so be careful running it hard until you get it straightened out. running rich with a boosted car opens up the opportunity for detonation...which is something you want to avoid like the plague.
 Quoting: BrokenTech




Always better to run rich no matter how it's boosted. Rich will give you some margin of safety. Lean will cause detonation / preignition issues. Lean is hot. Two strokes will seize if they go lean under (heavy) load / throttle.

Now, diesels on the other hand....

not necessarily true with boost. N/A motors yes. with boost lean conditions rarely open up the chance of pre-ignition due to charge air being cooled prior to entering the plenum, lowering the IAT, and effectively having a cooling effect on the pistons. with boost (especially turbo) running rich to compensate for increased boost can cause detonation if proper compression ratios are not maintained I.E changing your stock supercharger pulley to create more boost, without changing the compression ratio to compensate for the increased pressure, changing the original Knock resistance characteristics.
 Quoting: The Wild 0nes



I respectfully disagree. Lean is what is going to smoke a piston. Rich is going to have a cooling effect.

Now, if you are referring to going way lean from stoich, and getting a "cooling" effect from that I may agree with you. But you are only fooling yourself with that. Increasing boost (to increase power / BMEP) and then having to run lean to prevent full heat is a crutch to justify the boost number. You should be able to achieve slightly richer than stoich (say, 12.5:1) at a given CR and boost number. In other words, you should not be running lean to justify CR and Boost numbers. This is not how you achieve maximum Brake Mean Effective Pressure.

Can you elaborate?

Never mind, I looked it up.
