I used all new hoses, and i dont think i missed anything. I have checked it twice. I am gonna build a boost leak tester tonight, and try that. See if i can find it. Thanks for the answer.

So just got done doing MBL test. And the only thing that is leaking is the throttle position sensor. It leaks pretty good. I couldn't actually find it, but i could hear it so i used some warm soapy water and sprayed all around every connector and hose fitting. And so far that is the only place that bubbles up. Could that cause this problem? Thanks.
i forgot that it was leaking through the valve cover vent. i capped it and it stopped

i think this is common mine bubbles too, i dont think that is your problem, what does your wideband say when driving??

Well, first off, you guys point and laugh. When I went out and double checked everything i was looking at vacuum lines. And today after looking real hard i did find on electrical connector undone. So i redid that. And now its not as bad. After startup its still high 15's at idle-not sure if this is where it would be-But it doesn't get as bad as it did before. And as far as how it is driving i aint sure. I didn't want to drive it with the AFR's being so lean. I will try driving it soon though. Oh, i also reinstalled the fuel pressure solenoid. Seems like it kinda made the afr's a little worse. But seems as how I dont have AFPR should i leave that on? Thanks again for the help.

well, when you rev it what does it go to? 14.7 is ideal i think once warmed up, sooo 16 is pretty lean try reving it or take it down the block and back, just don't get boost happy lol. and see what the afr is then
you could try resetting your fuel trims too by disconnecting the neg battery cable

So i just took it for a drive. Had to go get food. lol. While driving at 30 mph in 3rd gear, the afr's are from 14.8-15.4. I ran it up just a little in first to see what the afr's get to and it was way rich. Like right around 10.9. It jumps around alot at idle, usually still around the 15.4 range.

well its a little lean but i think it's fine and 10.9 is normal at WOT if anyhting maybe it could use a tune

Well, i plan on trying to pick up turbotalon's fmic, and than after that a dsm link V3. So hopefully i can get it tuned before to long.
