Also the throttle response is immediate and boost seems to come on sooner. Dave my mech also stated that spark plug gap can different on each car and that you may have to try different gap for different tunes and vehicles. Note Idle is nice and smooth with very little fluctuation now. Thank you for your input on Evo's. I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future.
As for the plugs, I 100% agree. You have to find the right heat range and gap that works for YOUR car, because that might not be the same as MY car.

Although it's not impossible with your mod combination that you've lost power ...
You can gain upwards of 80whp with just a boost controller, true 3" TBE, and a reflash ... which would put you in the neighborhood of 400 crank HP ...
