Lean mixture and boost pressure
My car until 10 days ago used to run perfectly, but suddenly a strange thing happened,
while my engine is on boost now the AFR is 13:1 and it used to be 11,7do you have any idea what to check?
my fuel pump and filter are new
i have changed my fuel pressure regulator
battery bolts are between 13,7 and 13,9V
I have a relay in my trunk and I see only a 0,1V drop from battery and after relay I see a 0,5V drop, on my fuel pump is 12,7 V
what is your advice?

I have just change the line from battery to fuel pump
update the alternator
install new fuse
and I have more than 14V in my fuel pump.
Result
Rich mixture at idle 13:1 (from 14,7-16:1)
lean under boost (up to 15:1 with 0,9 bar boost)
now I have bought a new Fuel Pressure Regulator (turbosmart)
i will try to install it and set the correct fuel pressure
update the alternator
install new fuse
and I have more than 14V in my fuel pump.

Finally I found the issue!
the problem was the alternator!
at idle I had 14,5 volts and with car stopped it had almost the same voltage at high rpm
one day I saw WideBand very rich so I had to turn the screw on the ECU to fix it
i didn’t know why
i took a voltmeter, measure my battery’s voltage and I saw 11 volts with my engine at idle
the problem with my alternator was mechanical and not electrical
the strange thing was that my battery light on dash didn’t work at all
i bought another one and now the problem is fixxed
now I have an other problem but this is for a different post
