judging by your very vague description of your mods, don't drive your car.

If you're on a stock turbo, you should not be running 13-14 psi. You shouldn't be increasing the fuel pressure at all even if you do have an adjustable FPR. Fuel pressure rises 1:1 with boost pressure. So 43 psi base + 13 to14 psi boost = 56-57 psi boys and girls!

what plugs do you reccomend

ngk bcpr6es.only plug you need.period.

you need to set base pressure to 43psi and check for vaccum leaks...i have never seen a properly installed 20 have issues with stock setup.

Is it possible your spark plug gap is wrong? Either way if you never replaced them its a good idea. Just make sure they are gapped correctly when you go to install them.

lol I got them at the dealership less then $400, but i work there. That gap seems low, I could be wrong im not sure what the spec is. But if i had to guess id say .035-.040.

stock is .08mm which is .032" I'm currently running .027" and am going to drop my gap down a bit more cause i'm blowing out spark and NGK3330s ftmfw

have you even checked base timing, you can get bucking from improperly set base timing.

[black240jl]

how do you check for vacuum leaks? and what would be a good gap? im gonna get all new plugs tommorowand how do i check the timing, with a timing light?
