How is my car running? Any tuners that can help?
Ok so I got a gauge for my car that reads wideband and timing advance and I would like to know if my car is running fine, it says on the wideband if it gets below 1.0 it's lean, and at the end of the video I am going to upload it shows it getting lean when I do a 3rd gear pull. Also idk anything about timing advancement so I would like to know if it's all normal as well? I just would like some insight on this.

Hptune for 25psi
Tr10 intercooler
Treadstone charge pipe
Zzp upgraded intake tube with modded air box and k&n filter drop in
Zzp 3" Catless downpipe
Stage 3 clutch
That's about it.

This isn't another pull but I want to know if the clicking sound every so often is my timing chain tensioner? Or is that just direct injection? I know what direct injection sounds like and that random clicking every few seconds has me worried seeing all this stuff about timing chain tensioners.

Also every once in a while when I get on it there will be a squeaking noise idk where it's coming from, belt looks new and there's no loose pulleys. Idk if it's a bearing but it's never reoccurring. It only happens every once in a while and idk what it is.

Okay puts me at ease knowing 2 people said the same thing. I know I need a retune because I made a big jump from stock intercooler to a tr10 and an aftermarket charge pipe from treadstone. Idk just real paranoid about my car lately. Thanks btw to all 3 of you that replied. I appreciate it.

My retuned are free I just have to make a 3-4hr drive to get it done. I think it's running a bit rich because there's some loud backfire that happens often, for example if I rev up to 3-3.5k and double clutch there's a gunshot noise (I am straight pipes) but this is just so loud and happens so often it makes me think there's something wrong with my car. Also my oil had a faint smell of gas to it but I ran the oil a little longer than I like to so idk if that has anything to do with it.

Give it a lean I've noticed it run richer and backfire when my filter gets dirty which it does a lot being a cold air at my flow level

I watched 10 seconds of your video. The refresh rate of that ultragauge is horrible.
I would only trust it as a rough indicator as to how things are going.
With such a slow refresh rate you won't see quick lean spikes and such.
