Smelling gas in the car, after running hard out of boost.
Is this a tune problem? I take off hard get through third gear ,come to a hard stop, I smell gas. There is no leak outside of the car..

that is normal. It burns alot of fuel under boost and gets built up in the exhaust. If you stick your finger in the tailpipes after a hard run it will be built up with burnt fuel. Takes a minute before it gets cleaned out again. It would be good to have an a/f gauge handy, just to make sure its not going too rich. You can also check the plugs and see how they look after a hard run. I assume you arent running catalytic convertors? I didnt even look at your mods, but that smell is what catalytic convertors are supposed to prevent. All that spent fuel is bad for the environment lol. On my car its real bad. I have an open wastegate and I havent yet found a tube so I could vent it out of the engine bay area. So whenever the wastegate opens it shoots out all kinds of burnt fuel/flames etc. All that stuff finds its way inside the car after a hard pull. I have to roll my windows down
