couple of things my car does that im optimistic about

I have some stuff that my car does that im to unsure about, i just wanted to see if it was normal, my mods; hks ti carbon catback, godspeed downpipe, kartboy ss and utec is going in soon. 05 sti with 11,566 miles

1st: when i turn on my car :sometimes: it will emit a clear white smoke and when i smell it it smells like gas, pretty badly, and i can see through my exhaust its all wet with gas...so im thnking running rich, i lose 0 oil.

2nd: when im flooring i am around 3000rpms in 1st gear i mash the gas, and it stalls a little like maybe half a second then the rpms fly, but im very unsure about why it takes long.

3rd:shifting 1st to 2nd hard i hear a thump noise, i know its the diff, but, is it bad?

Finally: when i start my car ill hear a odd whining noise and ill see the bosst gauge going from .-70 to .-69 but as it warms up it stops.

Thank you for you assistance, please help sleep better.

you need a tune to help with the Open Loop/Closed Loop delay and lag.

you will need STi Gruppe N stiff motor and tranny mounts in first regarding the shift "thump", before you go to stiffer diff bushings/diff bolts, or subframe stiffer mounts/lock bolts.

oh, see you're getting UTEC, good luck!
