    Me too on prime. Just got new plugs, but have to wait to find help to do it. No wrenching allowed here. I get the waiting game. At least there is a great option to look forward to. Much better than my dating life.

    Spark plugs that is. Is there a way to do it without removing the supercharger? If so I'd like info on that.

    Yep. I'm not sure where the thread is, but a quick search should pull it up.. even just googling it. I went with the removal method, because I didn't feel like searching for and buying tools and making it all work... BUT.. after doing it that way, I would probably try the non removal method first. Especially if you haven't broken that factory seal yet.

    Pretty much. I think there's a couple other little details iirc.

    You don't even need swivels. Just a few short extensions.

    really? nice.. I just read all the threads referring to swivels... and I guess extensions too... but the swivels were what I didnt have on hand.

    I use two short extensions. First I drop the spark plug socket into the well. Then feed one extension in and plug into the socket. Then feed the second into the first. Then unscrew the spark plug. Remove in reverse order. Installing the plugs I use a plug socket with no rubber inside that will keep you from removing it when the plug is tight.

    Tried downloading my ECU again to no success. Guess it'll have to wait for OVTune to return from overseas.

    Thanks so much for the instructions. I wouldn't have thought to use a socket without the rubber cushion.

    Yes that's correct. The handheld came with a 91 tune and a 93.

    Wait, your handheld came with tunes already on it? I thought we had to send off ECU data and wait?

    He possibly bought it from someone. 2nd hand

    If you bought it new, you have to send Mat your data file, and from there he sends your tune

    Slap it on. The trdtune can handle it just as long as you have an upgraded fuel pump

    That’s the plan. Need to put the shift kit in the trans at the same time. Planning...

    You'll love the combo. :cool:

    I've had my IPT kit in for about 4 years now.. added the 2.6 about 6 months ago.. it's damn fun. All I'm waiting for now is the tune. Gives me time to grab an E fan setup before then too i guess.
