Well it is but there is a wire that is grey with a red stripe. Of coarse i tried that first....opps. So i fixed that and looked around and found a dirty warie that turned out to be grey coming out of the upper connector and that was it. I was amazed the first time i got it to work. I was expecting a loud hum or whine, but there is barley any noise at all. I was happy and dissappointed at that. I like noise but sometimes it nice not to hear every little thing going. The fans that i put in are noisy as hell. I love that they run after teh car is off, for like 10 seconds till the thermometer gets cool enough. I would love to get a electric water pump and have that on a thermometer also to get everythign cooler after i stop. Does anyone make a electic oil pump? I never see anyone talkin about one so i figure it woudl have to be a pretty custom setup. Thanks

awesome, congrats on the setup. also does anyone think that it could be spark blow out? i remember that my mustang did that real bad before i changed plugs out to a smaller gap and a colder plug. just a thought.

Well i put the plugs and wires on today and i can say it ALOT faster. I put in NGK TR6's. They are a colder plug. It still needs a better tune for the transition from no boost to boost and it feels fast till 4500 then all of a sudden its like another turbo kicks in. On the highway in 3rd and 4th gear it breaks loose. It is silly. I think im gonna have to get DR's jsut to have fun now. Breakin them loose going fast is neat but a pain when ya wanna go fast. Alot of the problem seems to have stemed from the driving i did before i got it tuned. All the plugs that i pulled out are as black as coal. So that is definatly not a good sign. I am gonna change the drivers side spark plugs tomorrow as i have to take the manifold off to do that. It is REAL easy to do, easier then doing the passanger side plugs, even with having to take the manifold off. I used the scan tool and have eleminated all misfire so now all i have to do is get springs and maybe hardend pushrods and put them in. Well that is about all of the excitment today. Thanks

why get the springs and push rods? Sounds like the plugs and wires did the job.
Why bother to put plugs in if your not going to do them all at one shot?
I thought you couldn't get the car tuned, might not want to beat on it to much till it is tuned.

I didnt put all the plugs in now cause the I have to take the drivers side manifold off to take the plugs out. I would have to let the engine sit for a while to be able to take it off so that i dont burn my hands. The other reason that i didnt make a point to change them today is all the other misfires were on the passanger side so ATM there is no misfires. The car has a good tune in it for the power it is makeing. He got the A/F ratio good and rich. He says that i can safely have fun till i get it tuned again. I am only puching 5 PSI ATM so there isnt that much of a concern. I woudl definatly say that at 4500 it is making alot mroe power then the 415 i got yesterday. That 415 i got yesterday was at 5k cause the engine just stops making power after then. I think that the wires adn plugs definatly did it BUT I aitn sure till i get it back on the dyno. I realy dont feel it die at 5k now so i think taht that is fixed. But everyone is saying springs so i guess ill dfo them. I dunno. I definatly dont feel like spending 250 more for the springs seats and retainers if i dont have to ATM.
I have surgery comin up on friday that will leave unable to drive stick for 2 weeks or so. I am getting surgery on my rights arm so that kinda sux. Thanks
