Here is my setup. Speical ZPI stage 0 with FMIC , NGK Iridium IX, and custom 2.5" manderal bent exhuast.

So as of right now my car is running reall rich, back firing, and idling bad I will have ZPI get some new gaskets out to me tomorrow to see if that fixes the problem. So keep watch!

UPDATES
**2/21 325 pm:I talked to kenny he is 2 daying my pnp harness and sending me all the gaskets free of charge so I will have complete new gaskets to replace since i am taking everything off I will go ahead and wrap all my piping in exuast/header wrap. So hopefully that will fix all my issues.

**2/22 1104 am: My emanage finally got sent tou but it wont be here till tue the 28th the guy shoudlve had it sent out friday or monday! bad practices on ebay ...oh well at least its been sent and my pnp harness/gasekts should all be in tomorrow!

**2/23 1150am: Ok gaskets come in today along with pnp harness. I will also be wrapping my downpipe, and manifold in exhuast wrap today since they will be off. Im really hoping the gaskets fix my issue and allow my car to run. If they dont I have no idea what im going to do.

**2/23 1030pm: Changed out the gaskets and the car runs alot better it did die on me once when i first ran it but hasent since! But I dont think the tranny is liking the turbo now cause the car jerks when I let off the accl and let it coast some times its hard sometimes you can barley feel it and sometimes not at all. Im hoping thats just a tuning issue but at least the car is running.
