Default Just Finished Changing My Plug Wires

Man those things are a pain in the ***! It took me a good two hours or so to change out all eight. My car was missing so I decided to change the spark plug wires but there is nowhere around that is open on the weekends but a AutoZone just opened today here in town so I dropped by and bought me some Duralast plug wires (yeah I know, thats all they had). Anyways, I was just running off 7 cylinders, my 7th cylinder was dead, the plug was burned in half! Sucks for all those ricers I killed when my car was running like **** lol.

I thought it was. I was working alone with a damn drop light that had no hanging/mounting bracket so I had to either lay it down it hold it. Oh well, I got it fixed now so it's all good!

well with the stock radiator it is a lil more of a chore... my radiator is vertical so i dont have the problem... i'd go as far to say i have "too" much room and the engine bay looks empty up front... even with all the turbo crap.

How much was your turbo set-up? I had thoughts about going down that road later on this year.

i put it together piece by piece... $5500... that includes a lot of things a turbo "kit" does not come with. a really nice OFI will run ya 6k... then you need all the supporting mods (which were in my price). I even paid for someone to do the work on the hotside.

If I were to do it again i would build the kit and save me about $750 bucks.

But really there is no better route than a turbo zone or OFI kit.
