2.5% unless it has good closed loop software in a L8 or P8 ECU, in which case around 0.8%

Ahmads chips always run mega rich for safety
I used to run greys and could not get it lower than 7% at idle
now run MSD closed loop 0.9% at 850 rpm

thats more like it. YOu need to get your fuelling checked when on boost as lowering the c/o at ldle affects fuel throughout the rev range.

Get it checked though mate - as said you could be making it much leaner at the top end as well and that means grief doesn't it!!
PJ Motorsport did me an MOT chip for my greys and cam set up. Maybe you could get something similar if needs be?
Good luck with it all

is it possible to convert %co2 into g/kmco2 as the new car tax bands in ireland are based on g/kmc02,i just bought matts[silky 16v ,topman]saff which runs msds closed looped lambda conversion which seems to havea low co2.

no, because co (carbon monoxide) percentage is a fraction of what the exhaust gases are made up of.
the amount of co2 (carbon dioxide) that a vehicle emits per km is a function of the fuel economy over a given test cycle.
completely different things and it would costs thousands to test an individual vehicle for g/km of co2
