Had to take mine into the body shop for injuries sustained while encountering giant tire pieces being flung from 18-wheeler ahead of me.

Damn you ECS...I had looked into getting one earlier this year but had been told they were no longer supported, so I moved on (financially and emotionally), now you're pulling at my heartstrings. I still really want to hear this exhaust in person before dropping the $ though.

No need to apologize (and please don't think I was actually mad at you); not your fault. I had heard it from a member on here and had confirmed it with the vendor I was trying to go through.

Bought new plugs/wrench from ECS and installed today. Photo is of old plug with Corona around insulator which apparently is normal according to Beru and all the other plug manufacturers. Plugs weren't due and didn't look bad, although the gaps were wider than the new plugs so I changed them out. Butt dyno says slight improvement.

Thanks for the purchases. Browning is typical with age / heat.

Some place might not carry R60 Milltek goods but is there. They might dont stock the item b/c it could be a special item but they do have it for R60

Filled the tank, Fred Meyer gasoline station which is Shell Oil Gas. Generally cheaper than most other places. Now the rest of the story. Idiot puts in regular when I asked for Premium fill, then said sorry. Big help. Spoke to manager who offered to have the "truck" come and drain the tank and put the right gas in. However that was a 1 hour wait at best. Obviously this is a pretty common event. I had him throw in a can of octane booster on the house and went on my way. All in all I'm avoiding this place in the future, but the manager was pretty cool.

Got me thinking and then I found this site http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/misc/octanebooster.html anyone have any experience with home brew booster?
