Very strange idle

First off before anyone asks, the mods on this car are listed in the signature block below.... Now for the problem.

When I first start the car in the morning, cold, it idles perfect. After driving for a bit and warming it up, the idle starts to get a little rough. Almost like there is a miss. Once the car is up to running temp, it lobes really bad, and the wideband gauge goes from reading around 14-15 (with lobes around 16-17), to off the charts over 18, and idling super rough. Not bad enough to make it want to die, but it sounds like some of the old school muscle cars at a drag strip. I have brand new plugs, wires. I figure it needs a good tuning with an SAFC or something else to straighten out the A/F ratio.....any ideas?

Id check / replace the ecu temp sensor located on the Christmas tree (water neck / thermostat housing).

Other than that, check for boost leaks, exhaust leaks, and pre turbo - post afm leaks.

I don't have an AFM setup on here. The VPC took care of that. I will check for leaks though for sure. but it just seems weird that it would be fine when cold and after it warms up it starts to do it. the items you suggest will be checked though.
