Default turbo d16y7 spark plug pics, white plugs but rich??

First sorry about the pics.. MS paint chop owns me

Ok setup:

d16y7
log mani
Garrett T25

Running a mere 4psi for the time being. Going to turn up to 8psi when I figure this out and feel comfortable.

Running Crome and street tuning the AFR via PLX M300 wideband.
In crome I'm running the p30 code with the p06 map because there aren't any d16y7 maps. Maybe there is a huge timing difference between the y7 and the p06?? Timing is the only thing I can think of that would make them white.

The M300 is damn near brand new.


These are the plugs after about 270 miles.





The one with the specks on it is the number 1 cylinder.

The specks were there from my first basemap and haven't disappeared, but haven't gotten worse since I got the AFR's tuned.

I'm running about 13.8-14.5 at part throttle

Under boost it runs about 11 to 12. Its definately running rich according to my wideband...
but the plugs look lean to me.

I have one degree retard per pound.

In crome I added a bunch of fuel just to test it out, and my wideband went deep into the 10s under boost, yet my plugs still looked like this

Any ideas? The wideband is 24 inches downstream from the turbo like the instructions said.

Don't wanna turn up the boost until I'm sure things are ok.
thanks guys
