Check your fuel pressure just in case. Have any plug wires laying against the headers?

High chance it could be opti, are you getting coolant on the opti? check your water pump and coolant hoses. Usally acts up if you get moisture in it.

I like the way they are ran stock. There is no other way to do it really with my turbo setup. And all my wires are far from getting melted

I ran my wires in the stock location and never had any problems with my headers/wires. I had hooker shorties though if that makes a difference.

Delteq wanted the wires through the stock looms but I got creative and went over the engine with stock headers. I think it looks BA
