I have a couple of questions to ask if I may.

When I bought my BF 06 mk2 turbo in Jan this year the fella a bought it off told me he had a capa flash mild tune (the model that is now being made redundant)and a brand new set of (siemen) (spelling?) decca 60 injectors ready to install and said he would do it for nothing as he had no need for them now.

So I agreed and my question now is if I wanted to go back to stock and flash back to factory do I have to change back to the factory injector size or are the decca 60's still ok to use.And if they are would I just leave them in or go back to the standard ones.Will the standard ones save on fuel or doesn't it matter?

Also I made a my mechanic put in titanium tip plugs and they were gapped at 130 and I gave it a boot full doing around 140 ish on boost @ 10 psi with a full tank of juice and it spluttered and farted..Was this because the gaping was all wrong.I rang him up and asked him what gap he had set as I was thinking about it as it was only 2 days after he changed them for me.

And I have been told since that copper is a better conductor than titanium so should I dish the Titanium plugs and go the copper with an 0.90 gap or similar.

Your help and aswers to my questions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Mark.

You will be lucky if the car starts let alaone run at all with the 60 lb injectotrs and the standard tune, if it does, it will run excessivley rich which can do damage to certain items and wash down your bores.

Your car should be running in closed loop fuel control when driving normally so fuel economy really should be the same in theory, but there are a lot of things that will influence it.

You need a plug with a smaller gap than standard when running higher boost.

Plugs are normally iridium type and should not have the gap adjusted, the correct gapped plug should be purchased.
