Default FI and fuel

Don't know if this is the right section, but I've got a fuel related question. If I am "boost referenced" when the car is sitting at a nice idle and I rev the throttle, the boost gage goes from vac to boost... that quick. In boost, since the fuel sys is "Boost referenced" she adds fuel. The problem is when the car idles down she has alot of fuel in her "rich" that she dosen't need... this causes stumbling, fouling and or kills the car until the excess fuel is burned off. How do you get a FI car to over come this?

Any help appreciated

that should be corrected with tunning if you are too rich at idle. the Boost referenced FPR will raise the fuel preasure as you come off idle and hit boost. But if you are too rich at idle I think you need to address the tuning. I wouldn't recomend lowing your fuel preasure at all because then you might go lean up top if you don't correct for it.
