so... i just ordered my new spark plugs and should have them around 1pm pacific time (2.5 hours from now) which i hope will fix the problem.... i do remember on the side of the plugs i put in for my build were the LSJ one's i believe, i havnt pulled them out yet, but im still trying to figure out why the plugs i have now will suddenly make my car run so shitty?

Nice to finally prove to someone that the vendors on here are raping people on prices of parts....seriously ottp 38$/sparkplug....what a rip off

so i swapped out the spark plugs, and that fixed my idling problem...... i took it out and it still fucked up for a second but went away (i was pushing it a lil to see what would happen).... shes running fine right now as long as i dont go into full boost, ive cleaned the maf and its just drying right now but holy crap it was dirty!
what i got
what i had compared to the new

i changed my injector seals today and my interceptor went from reading 8-20 misfires per cycle at idle down to 0!!!! thats right, 0. zero. and when i decelerate it was reading as high as 44 misfires. today the highest i saw was 4. i know that the interceptor is not even close to 100% accurate, but it gives you the idea. Rough idle is pretty much gone, one or two more updates on my tune and they should be gone.
CLIFFNOTES: if you didnt change your injector seals when you put in your larger injectors, give it a shot. it made a difference for me.
