you did the plugs, so check the leads, then do the common things like the ecu plug, then the injector plugs.....etc

Leads in the wrong order by the sound of it.

Can't really be anything else.

Why is that? Any car should run an a standard plug... What plug are you using? But yea the only thing that you could have done wrong is swap the leads...

Either that or you put the coolant in the engine and the oil in the radiator! haha

But still, your iridium (and that's how you spell it BTW) plugs will be a direct replacement for a standard plug.

25psi on a T2 i bet :P

Anyone can say they run however much boost they want, but normally the higher the number the bigger the bullsh!t haha

I'm not having a go, I'm just keen to hear about it. What are the supporting mods?
