I can tsay exactly what AFR's you will see, but on cold start it will be quite rich, but depends on map tbh,

warm tick over should be around lambda 1 or 14.5 AFR
driving at 3000 rpm, i assume you mean part throttle cruising on a motor way etc, then i would expect around 14.5

no boost? i assume you are referring to wide open throttle acceleration before the tubo boost threshold, this again should be around 14 AFR maybe a little richer, but as boost builds it should get richer in line with boost increase, down to as low as 11:1AFR but around 12.5 - 11 AFR i would expect to see on boost,


all mapping dependant really but hope this is enough of a guide for you.
