Well I changed out my plugs...I learned a trick doing the plugs...Just drop the damn turbo and you won't have to kill yourself trying to change the plugs...It's very simple to remove the turbos and it will save you a whole lot of time! Once the turbos are off you can get to all the plugs with ease! I haven't put the car back together yet because I broke a stud off on the turbo where the cat mounts...I tried an easy out and it broke that too! So I'll have to take it down to a shop and have them remove it for me...All my plugs were in pretty good shape....I'm so tempted to buy turbos right now lol!

You're a crazy man, Ryan. How long did it take you even with dropping the turbos?

If you drop the turbos, its very simple...I could probably have it down in a few hours...I broke off one of the studs for the cats in the turbo...So I had to take it to a machine shop to have it tapped out....Plus its 100+ in the garage and I'm dieing!
