This is the second thread you have made about running rich. Your not going to get any different answers than last time. You dont even take our advise when we do give it to you. I bet your bov still isin't recirculated either.

Depends on how diluted the oil is. If there's bunch of it, you could ruin the engine because of lack of flow/lubrication, if it's just a little bit, it's fine. I'd change the oil asap. AND GET A DAMN RECIRCULATION KIT. I don't care if it doesn't fix this problem, it will help prevent future problems down the road.

How do you know exactly that it's running rich? Does it puff black smoke under boost?

HKS SSQV Re-Circulation Fitting inserts enable the SSQV to reroute discharged compressed air back into the intake stream to create a closed loop system to prevent bogging / stumbling of rich air/fuel ratio conditions in mass-air sensor equipped vehicles.

Do a boost leak test.

Sounds to me like the recirculation kit will fix your problem that's just my :2cents:

The other mods and I are going to watch this thread so lets keep it clean.

First off, the recirc kit will only help between shifts. Secondly, STOP TRUSTING THE FUCKING POS NARROWBAND!

If it really is running rich, its probably the front o2 sensor or a boost leak. Is it plugged and working? If its really really rich, black smoke will come from the exhaust. If its bogging and no black smoke, my money is on the ECU pulling timing due to knock. Know what you really need to do? Take it to a shop.

I can't even believe we are still discussing this... I'm not even gonna help anymore until you take any of the advice you have been given by all of us in the last thread...

I bet you haven't even changed that timing belt yet... :disappoin
