    Car was missing bad, turned out to be #1 spark plug failure.....

    After replacing my turbo it ran great but after a few pulls I was getting a miss. Turns out the dang spark plug ceramic had got loose, sliding about 3/8" within the housing, kept blowing the plug wire off. Anybody ever heard of this? Do I have another problem? I replaced them all and it...

    Best place to get a HKS GT dump valve diaphragm?

    I blew mine again today, happened to me about 2 years ago too. It's an old school GT series with a 14 psi spring iirc. I don't remember where I got it the last time but I didn't remember it being $110, I'd like to replace it with the newer GT II series but they are like $700. Any ideas?
