Also, I can't post a link to the forum that AMX resides on now (PM me if you want to know where all the gearheads hang), but his email addy is: amx1397@aol.com He is the man to talk to if you want to replace the stock restrictive turbo to airbo pipe. There is another small vendor making a complete hardpipe kit, the VAK kit, which can be seen at : http://www.prototypepower.com/

I stand corrected. Still, drop your gap down to .040 on the turbo. Runs better and others have dropped theirs, too and like the result.

i agree with the previous poster who said to replace your wires with aftermarket ones. motors that run strong under load, but not at idle - is a classic spark plug wire symptom. my 2 cents. i'm very happy with my blue magnacores! i would replace the plugs with champion copper pluses. they are less than 2 bucks each and it will take you less than 20 minutes to switch them out.
