First off if you don't know when the fuel filter was changed last then get it done. It'ws a cheap thing to do and takes 5 minutes. Better to be safe than sorry. As for the plugs and wires let us know how that one goes. I've heard good things on the nology wires. As for the boost leak there is another thread in this section that has some instructions on making a simple leak tester I think. I can't recall offhand what the thread title was but if I run into it I'll post it for you for reference. And DAMNIT Emonz why ya gotta drop the BOV?!?!?! BUTTERFINGERS LOL

hahaha I know tell me about it. It was just stupidity at its best. I balacned the BOV on a railing that goes to the front door of our shop while I was inside making my intake for the car. and the wind blew and it fell. After I noticed it I was thinking to myself why the hell did I put it there in the first place when I have a work bench a few feet away. I had to JB weld the VAC nipple back onto the top of the BOV cause it broke off. and it actually held perfect untill I got a new stock BOV from a friend.

plugs and wires in...Seems to have taken care of the problem. It's ideling a little high now though, about 850 to 900, I havn't tried anything to fix it yet, it's nice to be able to really get on it again and not have it sputter though. S I think it's time to focus on the power steering rack...it kinda feels a little loose. I've been watching the fluid and toping it off as needed, but i have to get that fixed, and now I have a leak in my clutch master cylinder, and I still want to buy a new exhaust system, and a bigger turbo, FMIC, etc.....rims.....bodywork...
