13/12/08 02:51 PM13/12/08 02:51 PM #1 finally got my flash box and finally got it to work and loaded it on today (10psi tune). I wanted to run it in so the computer could suss it out propperly so I took her for a cruise down the coast tonight. she drives good like normal and 1st n second are all shweet (full boost pulls hard and spools up real narce! but 3rd n 4th, as soon as it hits full boost she misses and gets abit spitty, a mate of mine said he had to regap his sparkplugss to get his to run right with the tune and I was thinking I will probobly have to do that to fix the problem or els I was thinking it might have something to do with my cat back exhaust or the 3inch dosepipe I have coming off the front of the turbo? could it be sucking in just abit much air for her as such speed?I know its all basic sh*t and its been asked b4 and deep down I know I should just got get it tuned propperly, but all in good time...any help appreciated???cheers.

You'll be able to tell straight away if it's worn.But as dagabond said, the custom tune will make all the difference.
