Thanks for the thoughts - yes I did read and print off all 30 something pages of that post...

I have not owned the car long, so one of the reasons I am going through everything, so in regards to the fuel additives and such, no idea. I literally have only put 100 miles on the car since I bought it a couple of weeks ago, that was mainly to get it home.

Yeah, I have new plug wires on the list to replace along with the plugs themselves.

I might just have to replace other items first and put all back together then see what happens. Even if I have an issue, probably will not be yanking motor at this time anyway, so I might as well just run it till something major happens.... put before I started pulling anything apart, the engine ran smooth, no mis-fires, pre-ignition, no smoke blow by etc... although it felt weak, but I also found more than one vacuum line disconnected, boost lines kinked and cracks in the boost intake line along with connections at throttle body, on top of FOD damage to the turbo.... so if it ran that good with all of that, it should run much better once I get those issues resolved...

Eitherway I appreciate the thoughts, many heads are always better than one...

Thanks
