I am currently having an issue with running rich AND lean in the fuel curve

My car:
1990 1.6
T25 turbo spiking 14 down to 12psi
Tdr fuel card
Bipes acu
Walbro 190hp pump
Supra 305cc injectors

Here is the story. After installing the kit I went out and tried some pulls on the stock injectors and with all the other parts the same. It pulled smooth but was lean up top. So I figured if I get larger injectors itll put less strain on them. I found a deal on supra 305cc and tried those.

Now I go out and my First pull or two will be smooth but lean. After that the car warms up more and the next pulls will bogg down completely rich 10afr and stay that way until 4k and the. Peg towards full,off the chart lean.

I know I'm using band aids but it's what I had from the old supercharger. I know people once upon made this stuff work so what do you think is the issue? I can't seem to get the issue solved.

It sounds to me like that's way too much boost to be running on puny 305cc injectors.
I don't want to sound like a dick because I'm sure that you want to be able to run your car in the way it's currently set up, but my good advice would be to sell the aids and get a megasquirt. You don't even need a good megasquirt. A megasquirt 1 on your car would be perfect. Hell, even a parallel ms1 only controlling spark and fuel would be better than the aids. I'd also recommend 460cc injectors.

As a matter of fact, turn your boost down to like 9psi and report back and let us know if it's doing the same thing.

You're running 14psi on bandaids, your car runs exactly like everyone here expects it to (i.e. poorly).

You have pushed way beyond the design parameters of the Powercard and Bipes, which is about 7-8psi on a 2554. They are pretty much un-tune-able anyway. You have exactly what you have and there isn't much you can do about it.

The parable of the rusty bolt:
A man needs to turn a rusty bolt that is somewhat resistant to being turned. It will require a good 6 point socket and a wrench to loosen it without damaging it. A 12 point socket could work without rounding off the edges, but it is stretching it. Vise grips will mar the bolt head and require replacement of the bolt once it is removed, but will likely remove it if he clamps them tight enough and the bolt head doesn't round off.

All the man has is regular slip-joint pliers. He is using the wrong tool for the job. It will be messy and he will end up with damaged parts and a bolt with a stripped head that will not be removed. Him complaining to about the stripped bolt head will make us facepalm and ask why he tried to do it with the incorrect tools in the first place. Him saying he doesn't want to buy sockets and a wrench doesn't make the bolt sympathize and suddenly say "Oh, okay. I'll work with the tools you have chosen and stop fighting you."
