me too..what problems do you have? my problem is that the engine lags around 4-5 thousand rpm...like it would rise then stop at 4500rpm...i dont know the problem..i checked the intake, the diverter if its plug in tightly and i check my downpipe..i am curious if the spark plugs would fix the problem

OEM plugs run about $20-$25 each. For 1/10 that price you can pick up some NGK BPR7ES plugs and probably have better luck. I've been using them for years and they work great.

I am having a similar problem....my car runs fine until it gets hot.....then the as soon as the heaviest boost starts to come on the engine feels like its cutting fuel....in some cases the engine won't even rev all the way to redline. Its screwed up...they have replaces the wastegate syllanoid and that did nothing...they also told me the blow of valve had gone bad...which it hadn't. I think it was something to do with the ignition

It could be the brand of fuel you use. I have noticed that I get this problem more often with shell gas than other brands. It rarely happens with other brands.

Any auto parts store that carries NGKs can get you these or you can order them on NGK's website.
