I installed my new Gen 4's today, This time I went for chrome instead of black chrome like before. I was skeptical at first but now looking at them, I have to admit they look sexy

Today, I replaced my plugs (at about 37000mi) with NGK LTR6IX-11 plugs gapped at 0.038. Car runs better, mileage back to normal. Old plugs looked used, but none were black.

Also, I had to take out half of my intake piping to be able to pull my Forge BPV, so I could clean it and regrease it. No more flutter, no more BPV stuck open codes.

My throttle position sensor codes have also stopped. I don't know, but I think it's because it warmed up.

Tomorrow hopefully, front brake job.

I've always used channel locks/Vise Grips with a rag (so I dont put teeth marks in the plastic) 2.5 years of doing the oil on that car and never had a problem
