    Electrolysis nickel plated exhaust manifold

    This is a better section. How thick of a plate are you talking about? Couldn't you ask the company that did the coating what the heat and wear tolerances are? There are some folks on here that do powder coating and other types of coatings, maybe they can put in two cents. Edit: Lets have some...

    Ignition problem?

    Do you have an after market FPR? If not test fuel pressure at the rail while running to see if your loosing pressure, or not getting enough. Use a stethoscope or screw driver to listen to the injectors for any odd sounds other than a steady tick-tick-tick. Sounds like you have changed all of the...

    sounds like my bov is in my glove box?

    Where is your boost controller located at? Could be a boost/vacuum leak. If it really sounds like a BOV, that's strange. Might be an exhaust leak squeaking by the turbo gasket. There's not much that sounds like a BOV that's not a BOV. Check to make sure that the BPV/BOV is working and your not...

    Running rich

    Putting the Lex AFM on is just a band aid for the real problem. Find some free time, jumper the diagnostic terminals and check the timing with a proper light. Make sure the car is warmed up and keep the A/C off. There are a ton of reasons why your car could be running rich, could be worse could...
