installed the WOT BOX in the jetta

Highlights of the night we having a soccer mom in her mini van highbeam me after i 2 stepped it past my parents house last night. I pulled over and she yelled out the window, “Your car was on fire back there…” :rofl

This thing rips now, turbo stays in boost great and got rid of a bunch of the up shift boost lag. When the exhaust is hot, it launches some SRS shotgun like fire balls out between flat foot shifts… its very entertaining.

New plugs, and then gutted the plugged cat.

Doesn’t bog anymore, but now I have a leak between the header and DP. :rofl Tried one gasket, two gaskets, and not really any difference.

You can never win with this thing.

Albany speed shop for the win!

I HIGHLY recommend this place to anybody looking to have ANY type of service done on their vehicle. I can honestly say that I have never been to a dealership/shop with the friendliness and atmosphere of albany ss. Synapse is close but the dog always seems to get a little too close for my liking…

depends on your application. I would check them when you un pack them to make sure they arnt crazy smooshed or extra wide. but every tune, motor, setup, heat range, ignition type… has a different gap they run best at.

usually the widest gap you can run will yield a bigger more powerfull spark, but you need a strong ignition source to fire it the wider it goes or the spark can “blow out” and cause missfires.
