stock gap and never had a problem even with the prl 2860gen2 kit. going on 28k miles with them now.
My car is at 52k miles at the moment it started around the 38K for random misfires at high throttle. In time you may encounter it. Hoping it doesn’t.

The other ones are just those after market? I don’t think my ignition coils are the reason for it.
Boost related ignition misfires is because the pressurized intake air blows out the spark. Smaller gap helps prevent that. A stronger spark also helps fight that.

So far it hasn’t happened yet. Went with a chevy ss for like 5 minutes. So I can definitely say that is the longest I ever went with someone as most are like 10-15 seconds.

boost pressure of the drop-in turbos is typically at the 26-28 range while the garrett turbos are usually 24-25. b

as far as i know there are no OTS tunes for the prl kits. custom tuned by drob.

I thought ktuner had off the shelf tunes for upgraded turbos but I guess it was only for w1. I wonder if the prl big turbo is equal to the 27won, rv6 and vargas. I think i’m going to wait until they improve the turbos. I love the sound of the prl big turbo kit. I wonder if the other drop in sound the same or similar.
