Default When spark plugs are Black and wet

I'm just wondering now, as some of you might remember, I've been having problems with the car, to start, only boosting 4psi, leakage.

Well finally the car started again N/A, charge pipe disconnected, but in the process of checking stuff, I pulled out my spark plugs. They are the one step colder NGK's and the car ran turbo only for a few days, maybe 500 miles. The spark plugs where really really black, and one of them actually had gasoline drops on it.

Why Was the crappy FMU making it run rich as ----. I just want to learn. 450's and afc should go in this weekend.

It sounds like its way too rich.Your plugs should be a little black but mostly a redish brown color.
