I don't think I have a vacuum leak because my idle is completely normal. It's not mostly stock however... But I did use an access port to tune the ECU map. I just changed the map a few minutes ago to a different one and it was still rich but it was running at a lower max boost and lost a little power so I reflashed back.

It really sucks because there isn't an AWD dyno within 100 miles of me
road trip time then. 100 miles is well worth it to get properly tunned.

Yeah, I am seriously considering it once I get a little money to spend on it.

Well, none of the internals are modified. But I do have a custom uppipe, downpipe, exhaust, cobb sf intake, IC hoses, turbo inlet hose and WORX BOV and an AccessPort to manage the maps. I guess from a hardcore tuner's perspective it would be considered mostly stock, but for us hobby guys, it's pretty modded.

Well to be honest, the only thing I have done since I got the car is put the intake on and install the oil pressure gauge. When I was shopping around for a WRX I preferred a bone stock one but this was the best deal I could find and I considered it to be fairly modded compared to bone stock. I don't really plan on doing anything else except maybe a hood scoop air splitter to distribute the air more evenly across the IC and the STi hood scoop because they are a little wider (and look meaner). I'm just a noob when it comes to the whole tuning thing and wasn't sure how accurate the A/F gauge is or if I should be concerned about running rich.

Check your plugs...that's a better indicator than the gauge.

if your running an accesport map, its gonna run it a little rich. Its a safety zone on a turbo motor. If you want it to run closer to stoich, get it dyno tuned so that the tuner can adjust the map to the personal characteristics of your motor. Also ditch the narrowband A/F gauge its junk.
