great mind's think a like! Lol

boost turned back up and it seem's ok. A little bit once or twice at the end of 4th but a lot better. Tho it is only 12c temp tonight so that maybe helping? As i just think the temp may have some thing to do with this

 

[gooner8]

and thanks for all your input so far!

[And@fcm]

are you running 3ports? or external boost controllers as the standard ecu should do temperature control also,

when was the last time the plugs were changed?

 

[gooner8]

hi and, my plug's were done @ 70 k now reading 84 k .i thought the good one were fit and forget? Yes got a dawes type r spec boost controller. No 3 port!?

 

[And@fcm]

no plugs need changing every year and at least every 4.5k

really ****! How much for a set? Only working by bristol uni at the mo! Thanks for you help

 

[And@fcm]

the iridiums are about £40ish a set and most change every year to two years or you can use the copper ones £10 a set (i use these in mine) and change twice a year
