    Ok, I am planning my spring upgrade right now and am curious if I am going in the right direction.
    P&P vf39 (already have but not installed)
    700cc modded stock injectors
    APS turbo inlet.
    P&P exhaust manifold. (have but in the middle of porting it)
    GM Boost sensor (have but not installed)
    NGK BKR7E Spark plugs (have but not installed)

    Mods already have
    TBE
    Up pipe
    Stage 2 tune
    Intercooler
    255 lph fuel pump

    Now one other question I have is should I/ can I get rid of my tgv plates? I will have the intake manifold off in order to install injectors, turbo inlet, and to fix the fuel leak I am getting from the cold. Are there any gains/disadvantages? I am assuming that you have to tune them out of the computer. Is that correct?
    Thanks.
    Oh and I should add this thing is a daily driver.
    Also I will be getting it dyno tunned after all said and done.

    I was just reading on nasioc that guys will p&p them, take the plates out, then leave the rods and sensors in so it wont throw a CEL. Not that I care but then I would not have to weld them up. Whats everyones take on that?

    Also I am sure that people have said this before but this is probably the last of the mods to the power of the car.

    we will do either for you most of the time we either plug them with a set screw or fill the holes with JB weld. If you are getting tuned either way the tuner can delete that code.

    Yup, you can disable the CELs caused by deleted tgvs.

    Have the fuel pump already. I forgot about that. Also what is a good plug number to run. I am already running copper plugs.

    Just one step colder plugs. Some people like copper and some like the iridium ones.

    I am running the denso ik22. I might switch to copper in the spring... I don't think iridiums play real well with 110.

    NGK PFR7G, or NGK BKR7EIX. And not the PFR7G-11 as that is the wrong gap for you.

    Sorry, wrong part. BKR7E would be the plug I believe. Where did I get PFR7G?

    Edit: Nevermind, the BKR7E would be a step colder copper. The PFR7G would be a step colder Platinum. The BKR7EIX is a step colder Iridium plug.
