Agreed...you'll have to go in via ECU flash and raise the values...so you're not hitting them any longer.

The bov is still vta right now. I spoke to Kevin, and he said swapping BOV's like that can cause over boost. I was tuned with the tial, so if that doesnt work, I could always get another tial with the same spring I had. For now I will try to get my hands on the stock ix dv. There arent any boost leaks, so that eliminates that check.

You can pull your plugs and check the gap. I know you said over boost, but I would check the gap as well. Do you have a laptop and ecu flash?

I checked the plugs, and they are good, and gapped correctly. I dont have a tactrix cable with ecu flash.

factory plugs are iridium and are currently discontinued , so now all u can buy are the 1 step colder plugs and different tuners will tell u to gap them differently but with my stock ignition i believe i was around .018. It's been awhile but the plugs looked pretty closed lol.

I switched out the stock IX DV and am recirculating again. Drives so much better, but still having the buxking and popping issue. I'm still changing out the plugs, but I also might just get a retune, but with E85 this time.
