That's a pretty harsh boost spike.  Also with no air flowing over the IC, power is going to be a bit down.  Seems a little rich too, but that's typical for the stock ECUs.

Stock hp/tq is 190/240 at the flywheel for the 87-88's

the car is stock with a manuel boost controller on the turbo. There is no chip just the stock ECU. That is pretty good A?F for a turbo car. Without a chip. I wouldn't want to run it much leaner. As mentioned above when air is flowing over the intercoler it will probably lean out more.
 Approx 197.2 H.P. @ the flywheel. Not to shabby for a car with 132K miles.

I have it for sale in the FOR Sale section. Just never had a chance to dyno it before and wanted to make sure the A/F was safe. Didin't want to leave the boost turned up if it was UNSAFE. The car runs well as it. My wife used for a DD until she rearended a truck and messed up the frt end.
