Re: UK Typhoon running bad The plugs were champion RV12YC with a gap of 40 thou. I've swapped these out for Denso TR20PR-U, as recommended by my parts supplier as an equivalent for NGK UR6. I have gapped these at 32 thou. I have test driven the truck and from a standstill, hit the floor with...

Re: UK Typhoon running bad does this plug look slightly lean to you guys?

Re: UK Typhoon running bad this is the inside of the MSD distributor

Re: UK Typhoon running bad ok, today I removed the his style external wastegate to check for the cause of it leaking and I found this hose attached to one of the fittings, it was not connected to anything else. Am I right in thinking this needs to be connected to pipe coming from the turbo to...

Re: UK Typhoon running bad Hi, Yes it does just dump to atmosphere, it was on the truck already when my friend bought it. It looks like it internal wastegate in the turbo has been welded up.

Re: UK Typhoon running bad I have checked the cap and rotor, they appear fine. Wires were changed less than 3000 miles ago, but will test them. Can you explain what you mean by a tune up? Thanks

Re: chip help i have looked on the site and i found it very helpful for future tuning ideas but what i am asking is, the only obvious modifications to the car are stainless downpipe and exhaust system, cone air filter and removal of the A/C, i'm fairly sure these mods alone would not make the...

Re: chip help ok, i will check that. any ideas what would make the truck run over a second quicker thatn stock with no real obvious modifications, apart from stainless steel downpipe and exhaust system?

Re: chip help ok, i will look into the vac problem. what vacuum should the engine have at idle roughly? recently fitted a msd ignition system and a set of taylor leads. what plugs would you reccomend and what gap? no tach flutter
