Kind of bummed/intake and exhaust mods/now stumbling 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be Richard Rider on  Sun Jan 13 07:49 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hi guys,
Modding my 242glti.Rebuilt a Garrett tb03,installed it to a '91 manifold from 940T,swapped intake to b230,all as per turbobricks instructions.
Car started right up and Ive been fiddlin with the mixture cause it was running a little lean.However,now when I punch it,the motor leans way out(got an air/fuel mixture guage).
Before the mods,the car stumbled a bit,but I was also raising the boost with the orig overboost switch.It enrichened when I punched it though.Now it leans when I punch it.
I should also say I rerouted the vacuum lines as per a Volvo diagram,and connected the dist vacuum right up to the intake plenum area.
All vacuum lines checked and intercooling connections also checked.Timing checked several times.Installed an overboost switch from an intercooled car.
Which vacuum lines could I have switched on the WUR or switch on the head that could have caused lean out under acceleration?
Any other ideas?I hate taking it to a mechanic.
Thanks.
RR
