It doesnt necessarily mean it's running rich. How many miles are on your car? For example, I'm at 40k miles, I have been running 18-19psi (true boost) for about 30k miles. I'm getting some smoke coming from my exhaust. I took a look under the car and it seems as if my seals are leaking. If you run your car hard like I do at relative boost levels, your seals may be going bad. Just a thought. If your car doesnt have alot of mileage and doesn't run my boost levels, it may be another issue.
