DBeest Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Posted February 3, 2014 I had iridium plugs on mine when it got spit out at 51k.
Drillslinger Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 Hmm, an email might be in order then. PTuning was going to send it to their machine shop but.. what was a rough cost for the P&P?
DBeest Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Posted February 3, 2014 Think it was $1250. Check it out on their website.
Drillslinger Posted February 6, 2014 Report Posted February 6, 2014 Well, we bit the bullet and ordered a MegaMini stage 2 head. Gonna have the OE one rebuilt and if it's in good condition will try to find someone who needs one. Thanks for the help/advice!
DBeest Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Posted February 6, 2014 Awesome. Where are you getting the car ECU tuned once you install the new head? I'm contemplating installing bigger fuel injectors to go along with my new JCW head but now without a tune.
Drillslinger Posted February 6, 2014 Report Posted February 6, 2014 That's the beautiful thing about this stage 2, Chad assures me that even though the valves are bigger they're only slightly larger than std (+0.5mm Intake/+1.0mm Exhaust IIRC) so a tune is not necessary. Naturally, if we can get Jan over here in the Spring a tune would give me better gains but I shouldn't have any problems until then :motor:
DBeest Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Posted February 6, 2014 Cool. I'm in for contributing towards getting Jan over if we get a group big enough.
Drillslinger Posted February 6, 2014 Report Posted February 6, 2014 Apparently we already had enough in another thread (http://dcmetrominis.org/forum/topic/2940-feeler-rmw-tuning-party/) but had problems getting it coordinated. Then Jan's Dad passed and I'm not sure if he's back to work yet or not.

minime331 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 I know that feeling it's not fun at all. Especially when you are out in the mtn and nowhere close to home STella- 14' Focus ST Roush CAI, Cobb access port stage1 tune, custom Ptuning 3" exhuast, Levels FMIC, Turbosmart BOV, rally armor mud flaps, more to come.
