Colder plugs definatly i use bosch f6dtc. have you also put in a colder thermostate?? the 88deg one is to hot for turbo. try the 80deg for a 88-89 325e you can also get a 72deg which is what im using the heater isnt the best but your engine temp stays way cooler even when your driving hard.

The engine temp stays at a 1/4 mark.

The a/f is really rich, even under boost. It doesn't hesitate and it pulls hard all the way to the top.

The sound sounds like its coming from beneath my feet of right in front of the dash on my side.

TG how much for the spark plugs?

Also I might just hold off on the megasquirt for now if I can get this figured out.

I would find a dyno day to do a few runs to find out where that noise is coming from, I think they also tell you how much power you make. 2 birds, 1 stone.

when the noise is there? (at wich revs, how many throttle....) how much it last?
you have a way to record it (audio/video)?

Autocrossed today.

The car is a fucking handful to say the least.

A coolant hose got hit by the alternator fins and popped a hole in it, cut it shorter and took the rest of my runs.

Vids will be up soon.

So, I'm trying to figure out what to spend my paycheck on, brakes and clutch or megasquirt?
