Default HELP: Running too rich

my boss has a 300z w/ few things done to it. He's running rich and wants to know what to do about it. he thinks his injectors are too big for his setup (not sure what all it involves, hes got around 500 to the wheels). What im thinking is for him to turn the boost up... or could it be the ecu needs to be fine tuned more? thanx for your help.

Bad o2 sensors can run rich too, but since its boosted im leaning towards leak on the cold pipe/intake somewhere.
