Is it possible that the cat is starting to clog up some? When I first got it it would only get up to about 7.5-7.7 into boost in first gear. Now its getting more like 8.5 in first wot. I know the exhaust around the motor sucks on these cars. Just didn't know how much the cat played into that

The ngk plugs u have listed, are they the cooler range spark plugs than what the fact had put in them?

The maintenance has prob not been great on this car. I've only had it for about 6000miles. I've done the oil and new air filter and gutted the air box when I did it. I'm gonna change the fuel filter soon. And try to throw plugs and wires at it and see what that does. It has 128, 000 miles on it. And ...

Hadnt really thought about that. Could the supercharger coupler cause it when its running? I think I hear the rattle whenu shut the motor off that means it's starting get bad.

What can cause knock retard to start increasing. Used to only get 2-3deg when it was shifting and 0 when I'd get wide open. Now its hitting 5-6 pretty regularly wide open. And usually as soon as it gets into boost its starts 1-2deg of knock retard. Its gettibg cooler outside and its only getting ...

Mine did this too. But checked the fluid level and it was over full. Dropped the level to normal and the fluid was so aireated that it took a week before it started acting normal.

My wife hates my park ave. Not bc its loud or fast. But bc the ac is broke and it looks too much like an old man's car. She did like the 01 ssei I had a few yrs ago.

Mine does the same thing. 0 wide open. But will hit 3-5 on heavy part throttle.

How do u tell the diff between that and a regular susp bonneville. Very interested in doing this same swap.

I've got a 96 park ave ultra and just got the torque app for my phone and the blue tooth conecter. After watching for knock retard most of it I get is heavy part throttle in second gear. I've seen ot hit 4 most of the time with 5.8 and 6.5 a couple times. Now if I roll to wot it goes to 0. Is this ...
