Default I think I saw a non-ECS in TransporTT's; maybe he'll post. >

fwiw, I've had the ecs w/a gauge for quite awhile now and no problems. I replaced a 4-bar that I got with the **** - there's a market for all these, so a bosch 4-bar in the meantime might be an option - you ought to get that going!

Default Just checked the plugs... they're all at .030, that's not the issue...

Also shut down the BM, and I'll try to lube the DV next.

Default the FPR that i got from tyrolsports is great....

much better than the ECS unit. and also, i believe it is made by Bosch. haven't had any issues with that.

Default i know what you mean.

it's relatively simple and they use the bosch unit as the base part. cut the top off, weld on the adjustable top.

check 034 motorsports. i know they have an adjustable, not sure it fits, but it should.

oh, i did have to use teflon tape on the pressure guage fitting, it ended up leaking. but was easy to fix.<ul><li><a href="http://www.034motorsport.com/product_info.php?cPath=24_76&amp;products_id=174"> 034 Adj FPR</a></li></ul>

Default that's a shame its been that long. they would have sold a ton more if they had them in stock.

a nicely made kit with gauge.

Default Same problem recently- after 4000 miles on new plugs...

Swapping out the 50,000 mile old coilpacks solved my problem for now.

Default I've got about 10k on the current "R" revision coils....but you never know with them

mileage doesn't seem to matter much. With coils going bad - it's definitely more likely to throw a code - mine did when they started going bad the first time. So with no codes i'm inclined to think it's plugs or boost related.
