If you want to change your plugs with every oil change, then you can go with inexpensive plugs like NGK 6097s. If you'd like your plugs to last longer than that, go with oem plugs gapped down to about .030". Note that oem plugs are platinum with a very fine center electrode. You have to be VERY careful when you gap this kind of plug, since even the slightest scratch or chip on the center electrode will create inferior performance.

It hit 1 bar when the first turbo would normally engage, but when the second turbo would engage, the boost level would just drop until I was at almost 0 boost press. which told me the second turbo was not engaging. Since there was zero smoke comming out of the 3.5 exhaust, that told me that the turbo was most likley not bad, just not properly hooked up. I also noticed that some of the vaccum lines were blocked off, and it looked like someone maybe tryed to set it up for the tru-twin conversion. So, I got a 1500$$$ discount after he already lowered the price, bought it drove it home, got the tru-twin conversion diagram, replumbed everything, and they have worked ever since.

Glad to hear you were able to diagnose the problem! Great work!
