just ordered ngk sparks, delphi coils, and 6 SMP index 12 injectors (im assuming it has the decouplers), and tools for $1,100!!! cheaper than just the 6 injectors themselves!

Nice Maintenance and Mod thread. Car looks great, love the color. What is your next performance modification? Looks like you have all the preventative maintenance covered.

Well you did it right and did all of the maintenance first and the suspension. Maybe LSD, inlets, and tuning until the stockers blow. Will be a fun car to drive.

Installed MHD couple hours ago. OTS map 1. even without down pipes, there's a significant increase in when boost comes in. about 400-500 rpm quicker, comes in around 2k instead of 2.4k. sitting on balding Pilot Super Sports, 3rd gear at 60 with a slow-moderate to wind up had my tires starting to lose traction at 3k rpm. rain started to come in so normal driving for the the most part

Got done installing 6 new NGK ILZKBR7B8DG spark plugs and 6 new Delphi GN10571 ignition coils. super easy, just my dumbass always seems to work on cars at night which makes it take x2 longer. old bosch plugs looked alright after 30,000+ miles, but some of the coils had lots of oil on them. specifically cylinder 3 and 2.

Also is it normal for oil/debris to build up in the coil cylinders? cylinders 1and 6 were clean, but the rest were dirty
Cylinder 2 Cylinder 3 Cylinder 4 Cylinder

When you do logs, you should turn logging to auto. So above a certain throttle threshold it begins loggin and stops when you let off. All the other stuff in between pulls just makes it hard to sort through. Also make sure you do a full pull all the way to redline.
