MOOO..
Kidding, anyways I had a few questions.
I'm trying to get my car running right by doing the maintence that's required to begin modding. The car seemed to be running fine for awhile (besides a rough idle) but now it won't pull at all. In the top end around 75-80 in fifth I can floor it and have the identical acceleration as a RS/GS. The car is making 12 pounds, with no boost leaks. Checked to make sure my WOT was 100%, double checked, and triple checked for boost leaks couldn't find any.
So I pull the plugs and the tip is white, which I'm assuming is leaaaaan. Because this is pretty obvious white. The timing components were changes about 55k miles ago. Thinking it could have pulled timing a tooth. This is the only thing I haven't checked yet, because I don't have the proper tools. Timing is next on my list, but I'd like to see your guys opinion as to how to approach any other possibilities, so I can fix those first, because my car is beyond slow, and has even since about 50k miles into the timing change. Plugs below! Also, the gap seems a bit big to me.
Had the megabit change them out before I started doing my own work (other than timing)
