The electronic dashpot is accessable in the tune. Get your tuner to check the settings, sounds like it could be set too aggressively.

I noticed when i give ita tiny bit ofgasit leans all the way to 16 on the AFR and to get it to stop you gotta give it a little more gas. it didnt do this when i first got it and only got worse after a few dyno runs. the a/f has got to be messed up and i think it may be carbon build up on the 02's

Idle air control would be my first guess, though I don't know how it would go bad so fast. Maybe the turbo is affecting it?

You haven't got an air leak on the turbo plumbing have you ?

No it wouldnt, it only erases the Keep alive memory that is for the LTFT and the STFT, that learns how you drive and adjusts the fuel mixture.
