Yeh that ccan be normal on high tuned rotaries. Lots of fuel being pumped and so can smell a bit.

Yep, tuners run rotaries pretty rich at WOT, but, no harm in having a good look around your fuel lines and injectors just to make sure no leakage.  On boost your fuel pressure will be a good bit higher so if you do have a small leak it would show up more readily under those conditions.
