    okay guys i'll be buying parts soon so help me list the things i need

    my issues:

    1- 2000rpm idle
    2- engine not very smooth on boost

    parts i need to get:

    1- i got recommended new sparkplugs but i need bkr7e and no one has those in bunbury so if anyone could pickup a set for me that would be great
    2- plenum gasket (someone on here said they will give me one)
    3- EBC i'm still waiting on this one as i think the day after the meet i will be doing a plenum pull by myself because i really want to sand it and paint it or polish it :) so there is no reason for me to hook it up now...
    4- lots of vacuum lines, which ones should i get
    5- someone mentioned EFI hoses, where can i buy them and what size?


    what else? do you guys think we could get rid of a few things and relocate other to clean the engine bay up a bit?

    vac hose and efi hose you canbet from a auto store. they should also be able to get the plugs in for you well before the tech day starts.

    idle and running rough can be looked at easily enough.

    if anyones got datascan, bring it with you guys....

    the plenum pull?

    if you have the parts, then we will get it done in the day. but you have to be prepared to get dirty.

    there is always a small risk that things wont run properly after the plenum pull, but 90% of the time its fine.

    Those are the wrong plugs. For a standard TT you want BKRE6-11.

    EFI hose in 5/16" ID. You need hose grade 30R9 or better -I use Gates EFI hose (I think they call it enviro shield or something) that is alcohol resistant and rates to 225psi. Costs about $18 metre (on my trade account) from repco and you'll need 3-4m of it if you're using it for the bypass too.

    chris at jdm automotive said that the best ones for my zed would be the bkr7es because i'm running 15 psi?

    Probably to reduce the risk of detonation when you throw more boost at it.

    15psi is alot for standard coolers but we're starting to digress...

    If you trust Chris follow his advice :)
