Any prices for a stock air box with the best pannel filter? I'm assuming k&n?

Also best Make of spark plugs I'll need with a rough price?

Thanks

 

TBH you won't notice any difference between the various panel filters, all the ones I listed use a paper filter element which will give the best filtration.

I'd also check the condition of the coil pack connectors when you change the plugs and renew if needed - the plastic wiring connectors become brittle over time from the engine heat which can cause engine misfiring.

 

Prior to changing the plugs I'd also buy 2 new cam cover breather hoses (part numbers 12263‑46010 & 12264‑46010) as these also become brittle and tend to tear when removed to get access to the plugs.

Really appreciate the help Nic! Last question about the sparks.. It gives 2 different kinds, 1 set for stock TT and 1 set for 'up to 1.3 bar'... If I'm planning a BPU could I just run the car on up to 1.3bar plugs until I do the upgrade? Or will I need to buy another set when the time comes?

Just so you know you can not run a jspec at 1.3 bar without the risk of going lean, 1.2 tops

 

Welcome to the club BTW, tons of helpful folk on here

 

Yeah was gona run 1bar in the lower gears and 1.1-1.2 in the top end. Thanks for the welcome!

Copper plugs are relatively cheap, I'd fit the correct heat range plugs now and change them if/when you up the boost.
