I found the reason for the misfires. And also the reason for the low dyno. I checked my spark plugs and they were pretty bad. I exchanged them with iridium plugs and run so much better now. I'm going back to the track wednesday to test it out. Tires included. Don't worry, Will.

Most of the junk you see inside the tubes was loose and could blow out, tested that. But the only "bad" area was the overlap and the middle weld was a bit rough

That link is not loading. If its 5x110 then it will fit our cars. Now, it fitting over the brembos is another story.

if you put in 08-10 ss/tc then it will fit if it came up under that vehicle search.

also why would you buy a ppc when you are upgrading your turbo?
