Its too lean IMO. Hopefully youre running 93oct to save yourself from detonation.
You need a tune.

i agree that he should be running 93 octane, but i believe proper afr at idle for the L15 is between 14.7 and 15.3. close to 13.0-13.5 at wot.

where did you install the o2 sensor on your test pipe?

sorry, i meant is it at 10'clock or 2'oclock? because if it is at a bad angle, the o2 sensor will go bad very quickly and read extremely rich before they die.

also, sometimes if my fit idles for a long time, it will show its idling around 13.

well, if it keeps idling at 13, take it to a tuner and have them put a sniffer to your exhaust to see how accurate your wideband is.also, did you ever install an o2 fix to your testpipe for your stock o2 sensor?
i wouldnt see this as an immediate problem, but if you keep idling rich, it could lead to more problems down the road.

its fine dude, i had the same anxiety with my car when i put my wideband in. i thought it ran super lean but when i got my service manual, it set all my worries aside. our cars just run lean. its the nature of the beast.

is your car throwing a CEL?

if the stock o2 sensors are forcing a code then the fit will throw itself into a preset open loop mode. its not quite limp mode though.

at least that is how i understand it to work but i could be wrong.
