Werd, I thought all turbo engines were tuned rich no matter what. Nothing worse than leaning out at the top of your band and popping shit across the street leaving you stranded.

Most turbo motors are tuned rich for safety. If you have a good tuner, you can run closer to stoichiometric and make more power. Sometimes they are tuned TOO rich though...and that's no bueno. 12.5 = bueno

all responsible tuners tune a turbo motor a bit rich. Now if you are trying to squeeze every ounce of HP out of a dyno sheet queen, than some tuners are good enough to walk the fine line...but I wouldnt actually drive the thing.

You need to stop thinking about what a gauge hooked up to your stock narrow band O2 sensor is telling you. End of story.
