lower the gap on your plugs a little too, that will help your idle

Chase is getting the famous boost creep in 5th.... because of the full turbo back! either needs a tune or EBC!

I would tune it out tho!

As far as plugs, i would pick up a new set chase! your car has like 60k miles anyways!

hes stock besides the TBE. he doesnt need 1 step colder and it might even hurt his idle.
