What size turbo are you running? How much boost do you plan on?

i was told to run iridiums now so thats what i bought... 2 steps colder than stock.
yeah, blazin is right.. the only other thing worth mentioning is that i have the ported built head... but as far as psi goes, im going to take it to 25 and see where thats gets me. im trying to get ahold of bryan to tune me but hes either really busy or i take it he doesnt want to tune me.. either way, i need a GOOD tune..

Eh, Iridiums aren't as good w/ boost. Coppers are better. The reason someone told you to run the Iridiums is because they're two steps colder. Just so you know, if you want to try it out, NGK does sell race plugs (no resistor) in the 8 and 9 heat ranges. Those plugs are copper. Gimme a minute and I'll look up the part #. They're so much cheaper than the iridiums...

PM me if you want and I'll fill you in on what I'm doing...
Yeah, they're fine. The only difference is that the race plugs don't have a resistor so there's a chance of interference. Some PCM's have issues and most radios will get a little interference.
All of the brain trust on this site has used these plugs at one time or another and confirmed that they do not mess w/ the PCM, just a little radio squeal at high volumes that you may or may not notice...

lolz.. you have no idea. i want to just buy a bullseye s259et and just slap it on but i dont know if it will fit for one and if i did buy it i would need 1000cc injectors and possibly the return style fuel system.. i definately want a new turbo though. but were going to slap it in assembled, head and all.

where do you even get those? I looked at most of the sites and didnt even see them. the guy at OTTP PMed me on here and said they had the ST's which I knew, and was prolly going to order from them. so....hopefully that means he has them in stock.

http://www.turbotechracing.com/produ...dcategory=5616 but the problem is, they arent stocked.. theyre pretty much made to order. i know mine were.. they were supposedly shipped from florida last tuesady or wednesday so we'll see. and i had to get the +1MM oversized valves because the head was ported..

i finally get to bump this! after today, the new motor will be ready to drop into the car : ) im getting excited. but everything is on the motor right now besides the oil pan and the valvecover. i will have the car up and running by sunday, possibly earlier but sunday is what im shooting for.
