Pretty new to the turbo world. Only mod is the Berk downpipe on otherwise bone stock 3rd gen engine, running 12psi according to my gauge. Runs, idles and goes just fine.....just smells rich to me, exhaust tip is a little on the dark side too. Is it normal behavior or what? where do I start my troubleshooting?

A wideband o2 comes in a kit, you don't just buy the sensor. You need something that interprets the 5v signal, since the ecu gets a 1v reading from the stock narrowband o2 sensor, and cannot interpret the wideband signal.
Innovate MTX-L, AEM UEGO are both good options, and you can find them cheap brand new in eBay. I bought an innovate LC-1 for 168 and then an Innovate MTX-L for 160 on eBay and they're both legit. Most other places will want to charge you upwards of $200 -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
