It´s normal to have some colors on the cable ends, I got brown and white but still good spark. :)

Make sure you use Bosch plugs, our EMS´s are made for Bosch spec plugs and the car will handle boost better using them. You can also step down one grade on the Bosch ones now (to 6´s), really warm outside, better for the engine and will help you keep the detonations away.

that's probably one of your problems right there. the BOsch wires are sooooo horrible quality. I had too many problems with the previous two sets I had, but I didn't know any better. I got the Kingsborne wires on, and OH MY GOD, what a difference.

cool, thats my plan then :) I am thinking about starting out with 3" down pipe and rica chip, then i will finish the exhaust later when i get the money... After that i probably will do turbo and remap, then fmic and bov... that is the order i thought up in my head lol. I wanted chip first but i dont want to kill my turbo now (heard it is bad with stock down pipe), that is why i will get down pipe at the same time. Seem ok? sorry, im not stealing thread, im borowing a chunk of it ;)

Don't run a 3" downpipe to stock exhaust, just do the whole thing at once.
