AFR reading lean, AFR table showing rich..., guessing an exhaust leak? Other options? Options

[VaccaRabite]

As I get closer to Dyno Day for my 914 (July 22), I have a theory about some of my drivability issues.
This car has modern EFI, not carbs or Djet/Ljet. It’s running MS2 through a Microsquirt controller.

The car is clearly very rich. It bogs heavily coming off idle, to the point that it will sometime stall out if you don't dance the accelerator pedal just right at a stop sign or a traffic light. Last oil change I could also smell gas in the oil. And while Bob Hill ( @saigon71 )was driving my car the other night I occasionally saw puffs coming out of the muffler on overrun. Kinda cool, in a way, but not great.... lol.

I hooked up my trusty ancient tuning laptop and opened up the AFR table while looking at the AFR meter. Where the table is showing ~13, the gauge was swinging ~15.5, especially just off idle, when the car got hot.

So my theory is that the ECU is reacting to a false LEAN condition and dumping huge amount of gas into an already rich environment.

So, my possibilities are:

1. Exhaust leak at a joint
2. cracked SSI exchanger (UGH)
3. incorrect values for the AFR entered into the ECU (I doubt this one, given that the issue gets worse as the engine gets hot)
4. Some issue I have not thought of yet...

I recalibrated the AFR EGO, burned it to the ECU and did a little logging.
The engine is still showing a lean condition in the AFR, despite fuel table calling for a slightly rich condition. And the car is still acting overly rich. Bogging on throttle etc, while the gauge reads lean.

Trying to find a way to share the log file. Okay, here is the log file:
