Perhaps you need an engine tune? Are there any products that you could use on your setup?
Its sounds like everything that you need to do at this point is work on your engine management.

do you have a fuel pressure regulator of any kind? if so you'll wanna check on if that is connected correctly and working properly. engine management should also be something to look at but remember it won't correct anything if your mechanical parts aren't working correctly to begin with. since your not able to hit your normal redline that could be (is) an indication of a problem in itself. since your car is turbo now it should be complimenting you N/A setup and not pe your primary power source.

I feel that it's always good to have more gas then not enough especially in turbo situations.
you might wanna contact ludespeed since you're using their turbo kit. they can give you recommendations as to whats going on.
is it 8x100Pa or is it 8 x 100 kPa?

yes it's always better to run rich and not lean but... if you have raw fuel coming out from your tail pipe as well then that's also bad. to much fuel can be bad as well since you won't get a good burn even though our timing and ignition is spot on.

not so good.
is the FPR run off of some sort of engine management system or anything?
are you able to adjust it in anyway?

From all my research and talking with Vince (Wedge on RS25), I concluded that boosting the EJ25 would require major EM to run right cause alot of guys were running into the same problems are you are when boosting that motor. Im not too certain what you can do with out EM but if you look in thier troubleshooting section, some of those guys who went that boost direction may have some answers. I ditched the headache and did the swap
