My suspicion on the bad gas was correct. Last week, I refilled my car with a tank from RaceTrac and retuned the car. Look at the difference:

I used to use 7-11 for the past 5yrs, cuz it's right at the corner of my neighborhood, but this is the first time I've noticed such a drastic change in gas quality from them. I know they're not the best station to go to, but it's so convenient

think my issue was similar changed gas from Shell/BP went to exon and now its fine. Also installed the bigger turbo kit and the car is running decently good. one question though. I bumped up my idle timing and idle but when I put the clutch in the car seems to like to almost stall abit. I think the issue is the huge intake going from a 3 inch to something that looks like a damn 5 inch on the inlet of the turbo. Any fix for this instead of going Speed density?

Are you still using the stock MAF?

Yea still using stock maf. But I fixed it car idles perfect now and when I let off the clutch its like stock now. I just messed around with the idle maps and now its fine. But Man I posted in the engine/turbo tread but I can not figure this crap out. Im having major misfire issues now after swapping from multiple plugs and running as tight of a gap as .20. I have even gone as far as changing my coilpacks and buying new ones and spark plug wires and Im having the same issue. Anything past 15 psi is breaks up bad up top. I started with BR8ES's gapped at .24 I couldnt even get on it partial throttle at 15psi. Changed to BPR8es and ran .20 gap now Im good at 15psi but anything above that Pop pop pop.... The tune is fine I have taken out as much timing as I can and shes running on the rich side. Im stumped. Aren't the factory coilpacks good up to 400whp or slightly more? I just cant imagine needing individual coilpacks on just 20psi on a bone stock motor.

There are some temperature compensation tables for ignition in the tephra ROMs, just they usually go negative with temp.
