R53 P0304 code

Hello, I have a 2005 r53 with about 120k miles and 17% SC pulley reduction. Recently purchased it and it gave me a lean code that was resolved with a new fuel filter, immediately after starting it for the first time with new filter it threw the p0304 code. I pulled the spark plugs and noticed the cylinder 4 plug had slightly larger gap so I swapped them all with the same brand NGK iridium spark plugs. After putting new plugs in I unplugged battery to clear ECU but code is still there. I believe it is stock coil pack but has aftermarket leads and 1 step colder plugs.
Also worth mentioning is the P0108 code that I am waiting to have system smoke tested. Replaced TMAP sensor with another OEM but noticed fuel smell on original sensor.

P0108 is commonly associated with crank pulley problems. I'm assuming your crank pulley is relatively new?
