    Definitely join our thread and get to know the guys in your area. Yes, HSV is a bit far, but the mod days can be very productive.

    There will also be an Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator after the fuel rails, which acts as a check valve as well.

    Not sure how to chime in with questions on a Toyota installed Super charger. What plugs are you guys running? What are you gapping the plugs at? At what intervals are they being replaced. Also what maintenance is done and when? Thanks for input.

    Shouldn't have any issues gapping iridiums as long as you dont touch the electrode when doing it. The electrode is more fragile on iridiums

    Shit bolted onto other shit, and junk.

    You are fine doing this, ive done this twice now. As long as you didnt break any of the electrodes while adjusting them, then youre good to go

    I had to adjust nearly all of mine for the out of the box from the maggy kit. I've had other plugs that were spot on out of the box.
