Yea, well, my car has been running like, well, feces as of lately. Here's a dyno chart from July '04, notice how lean I'm running? Note, this is only with Stillen Intake and a Greddy PE exhaust, no other mods. 
I put the car on the dyno again, about a week ago, here's my results:
 That's at Stage 3+: Stillen Intake, Greddy PE Exhaust, AshSPEC ECU, TSP Test Pipes, and a set of .035 boost jets. Ahh boost jets, I hate them. I've had three different sized ones used, and every single time, I'm getting spikes at about 1.4hkpa. For those not up to the conversion, that's approximately, oh, 20PSI! With stock turbos and injectors mind you, not good, not good at all. You can see that spike on Run #1 (im lucky I didn't blow things up) Anyway, run #2 above is with no jets, stock boost. However, I'm still running WICKED lean. WTF? I was under the car today trying to find a small oil leak and lo and behold what do I find instead? This: 
Now that's about 1.5in long, right before the muffler on me PE exhaust, Passenger side. Could that be the reason why the A/F sensor is reading so lean? Both times I dynoed they put the sniffer on the passenger side muffler... Aside from those issues, I've also got a small oil leak somewhere, HEAVY wheel shake at highway speeds, and something's up with my power steering system. At any speed I try to rotate the wheel, it takes more than normal force and also starts to groan a lot. My HICAS light was on a few days ago but then mysteriously shut off. My PS fluid level seems to be fine. As for the wheel shake, I know my Tension rod bushings are either on their way out, or most likely now, out. I ordered some Adjustable Tension rods, however, I have not been able to install them yet. Hopefully, that will deal with the wheel shake. Needless to say, I'm very frustrated.
