Boosted cars utilize leaner A/F ratios to prevent engine "knock" or unwanted detonation.

Therefore, I've noticed that the factory ECU on DSM"s is running about 14% too rich.
You have it backwards. 11.5 is richer than 12.6. stoich is 14.7 and boosted cars run richer to prevent knock but other than that your numbers are right
