15K mile tune up done...have questions.

[forbidden doughnut]

I just did a tune up on the car (as title states).

Installed K&N drop in, SU boost tubes, Denso ITV20 plugs.

I noticed the car runs a lot smoother and power delivery seems more linear.

I gapped the plugs to .028...the ones I took out were at about.024...out of spec from the factory. Is that typical?

I noticed a very light coating of oil on the inside of the OE boost tubes. Is this normal or do I have things breaking already?

Also, the Boost drop @ WOT seems more pronounced starting at about 5800 RPMS. Is this normal for the car or is it pulling timing or losing FP? I don't have a device to let me see exactly what the FP or timing is looking like but if that is normal I am not going to worry about it at the moment.

Also...as I get closer to out of warranty what is the most efficient way to decrease the boost drop @ WOT @ high RPMs?

Thanks.

the fix for the oil in the boost tubes is an Oil Catch Cans. our cars like to put a little bit of oil through the intake tract. a matt damonds oil catch can will prevent that. also donate and then invest in a cobb ap so you can monitor your fuel trims, knock, etc..

hey there. most tunes drop boost toward redline to protect the turbo.. i don't know if the stock tune does, but if you read a bit, you'll find that most tunes are designed to taper boost off at around 6k rpm. do some more research if you like, but i think it's normal. the best way to keep more boost high up is a tune with a tuning device, either ht, cobb ap or standback.


edit: why the fuck did this reply get groaned? because it was an accurate answer to a noob question? yanahdi, lick my choad!

Thanks for the helpful response. My car certainly has an access port in its future, it sounds like that will help.

Wierd. Not sure how that happened. Must've missed and hit groan when I meant to hit thanks, phone browsing FTL. I'll fix it.
