Default Rs Turbo problems?

I need a bit of help with my escrot rs turbo, its running rich (you can smell petrol from the exhaust) is this just the CO, if so can i turn it down a bit myself?

Also when you floor it the cam rattle its arse off, does this means its f**k'd.

Any help will be gratefull

No, you shouldn't comtemplate adjusting the CO yourself. Even the slightest movement on the screw can make a big difference and you will almost certainly end up having to take it to someone to do properly in the end anyway. With the rattle, I would suggest that you get it booked in for a tune with someone, with a view to having the rattle checked and the CO adjusted.

What makes you think that the rattle is the cam?
