Common problem with all 700 turbos- if there is any hole in the air hoses between the turbo and the intake manifold, the mixture will go too rich. Basically pressurized air leaks out of the hole and the engine does not get the amount of air that the Air Mass Meter measured.

Most common location is the short hose at the discharge (drivers) side of the intercooler. Fortunately it's also the cheapest one to replace. The others can be expensive. The little oil leaking from the turbo itself attacks the rubber hoses from the inside out.

Lots more good info in the 700FAQ- good reading.
Good luck with it.
