also when you did your kit install did you ever run the car before a tune?? im getting mine done soon but i have a issue with the idle where it jumps high really easy and takes a while to come back. any ideas?

as far as the tune you need one. i had a sct chip burned for mine after the tune and it made all the diffrence. as far as the idle it could be a sticky throttle blde on the underside the throttle body or a problem with the throttle positioning sensor calibration. as far as the plugs they should be tan in color but gray is ok just a little rich burning. did the dark ones smell like oil or gas
