Anyways I was running 14.6's .. My dipstick popped out and it got all over my engine .. I went home put the thing to check the engine light on and it said I had a misfire.. I checked my spark plugs and the part where it was suppose to have a gap was gone on 2 of my plugs and the rest were black as ****.!! So I'm gonna buy some new cold ones and go back to the track this Friday if you guys are down to go..

was there some oil on your plugs by any chance? Usually when your pistons slap the **** out of your spark plugs like that its time for a new motor.

Yeah I know everything's good on it because I took the old MBC off and I was hitting 10 to 11 psi and now with the new one i'm only hitting 6 to 7 psi... I don't think it can bleed off enough pressure honestly.

I know there's that little rod that moves from the wastegate to the turbo not sure if that actually adjusts it or not though. Drew called and talk to me about it. When I get home from work tomorrow I'm gonna look into it and see if I can see anything that could be setup wrong. But it's been setup this way since the turbo has been on so I'm not sure what it would be just yet.
