Default eversince i installed my turbo my car smells like gas!!??

ok eversince i installed my turbo ive been smelling gas often!!!!
i checked the fuel pump and its not leaking!
car is not tuned and is running rich.
it doesnt have a full exhaust the DP cuts off right under the turbo so im guessing that all the smell the DP is dumbing is what im smelling!??

what can it be
no fuel injectors leak..no fuel pump leak .....and not a gas tank leak either? what can it be?

yeah dude because my mileage is doing good when i stay off the boost.
and also do you think my ---- isnt blowing off if my WG spring is too small.!n its showing only 2lbs of boost on the gauge so im guessing that would be it . my buddy told me that was the problem cause he had the same problem

Not true.

But your running two pounds? And you think your BOV is important? You dont even need one with that.
