    What do you all recommend for spark plug wires? They vary WIDELY in price.

    Going with Iridium plugs. Don't need to change the oil yet. Air filter is new.

    What else am I missing?

    For 5$, change the PVC valve. Maybe the fuel filter if the rust is not too much advanced on the pipe fitting.

    id check what plugs are in it now. they maybe a heat range cooler being your turbo.


    in your sig, put in there what your car fully is. my sons 20 footer leaves out all the details. this way people can help out better should they not know your car yet.

    Delco wires and Autolite 104 plugs gapped at 0.035 for your setup should work well.

    thats what a stock sc engine likes. modded and you drop a heat range. i bet your car loves copper plugs too.


    thats why i say take one out, see what the last owner has in it.

    thats a copper core plug. im not 100% sure on how cooler that is, if its one range down id go with the same plug.

    The Autolite 103 is three heat ranges colder than stock, I'd go with them if thats whats in there already.
    I run the AL 103 myself and the turbo kit on your car is sold with AL 103's already pre gapped as part of the kit.

    Yup, the manual boost controller is just a regulator for controlling boost. Lets you turn boost up from what wastegate spring is at.
