This may sound crazy, till you start thinking about it.
When was the last time you flushed your intercooler?????

Just a thought cause I bet it's nasty. and you may not be supplying enough air to the mixture, making you run rich.

Next would def. be the timing. Hope this helps.
Just food for thought.

hmm i havent ever done that..
this is going to be a stupid question, and one i should know but what is the intercooler filled with? is it just coolent like a radiator or what? i havent messed with the intercooler before so i dont know much about them.
thanks

I don't know anything about them either dude.

So here's what I did. I bought the car without that option so I could work on it myself.

Why?? Because I don't want to learn turbo's.

If I have a turbo'd car. It'll be a car that only the dealership touches.

Like the new BMW x6.

You intercooler isnt filled with anything. It is a air to air intercooler and just air passes through it. So flushing it is kind of simple there is only going to be oil and scum in there. Just get some grease cutter I think and wash it out. But make sure it dries very good before you put it back on the result could be really bad.

I had some guy ask me once. How much water do I add to this?

As he removed the funnel from his turbo

.

And I only mentioned the x6 cause my wife wants one.

When I leave my supra. I'm all about the porsche.

It bloody runs.
