Oil, PTU, and trans fluid swapped... MUCH different car. Amazing how much difference that it made. No stutter or hesistation. Only issue is a somewhat rough cold start first thing.

Awesome! These cars are sensitive to transmission fluid break down especially.

There is small amount of oil burn off on start up (blue smoke),  that combined with small gapped plugs make the initial start stumble prone.  Mine stumbles a bit for about a minute with .026 gapped plugs on colder days.


Monitor for oil usage.  on FULL synth I use about 1/2 a quart between changes any more than that i would  bore scope the cylinder walls :)

Pull the pipes off the turbos, make sure there is no pooling oil.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
