    Yes, I'd like one for our 4.0! ( I know it's for the 5.7. I wish there were companies that would make a TT kit for the 4.0 already.

    I can do it. It's all custom, and I have to have the vehicle too though. Unfortunately that's the way that it goes.

    At this point, I'd be be willing to pay for the under table smog if a turbo option is readily available. Just need a exhaust manifold solution first.

    Battery relocation would be necessary and creative piping...

    Hey guys. Does this ruthenium plug look right?

    I noticed the top of the spark plugs are different on the lead that connects to the coil pack. 6BA4D867-CE7C-4E12-875B-BE12AE9B1C4D.jpg

    Yeah you're all good. They look like that because they are actually made to fit VW. It just so happens that they use the same specs in their cylinder heads as we do as far as spark plug requirements goes.

    I was more worried about the leads not making up right inside the coil pack, but in they go !

    Oh yeah, the flat tops are a little off-putting at first. You get used to it after you change them out a few times. Lol.

    Ya, that's the forced induction specific spark plug with an extra tang or whatever that protrusion on the end is called

    https://ngksparkplugs.com/en/products/ignition-parts/spark-plugs/ruthenium-spark-plugs

    PSPE® (projected square platinum electrode) provides the best ignitability and service life for high-heat engines. This NGK-patented design is recommended for turbo and supercharged engines.

    Another victim of the clamp rubbing issue. Good think I caught it before it rubbed all the way thru.

    His concern was the non traditional style recessed circular tops of it though, not the electrodes at the bottom.
