Default well i learned something valuable today
guess who installed spark plugs without taking into account boost? yup u guessed it, did spark plugs and as soon as i started driving and got any boost started getting blow out....fml i thought doing spark plugs was bad enough then i had to do it allllllll over and gap them smaller, epic fail.
