I swapped out the plugs and ICs this weekend. I had one cracked IC and a few with corrosion on the terminals. Definitely time.
When ordered ICs i didn't realize that Beru is the OEM and picked Bremi. The good is that they are the original style housing, no need for longer screws or adjusting. It looks like Bremi is oem for BMW and others, so not some eastern European knockoff. No issues yet.

Changed the oil too, stunningly easy. Plugs and ICs, stunningly complex. Go figure. Whoever can do this without taking off the bumper is amazing. I did find a marble, so worth the effort.




how do the plugs look? Normal for a turbo?

 

plugs looked LONG "overdue". but tuned cars fry plugs quick. those are OLD and fried. either or. good time to swap them lol. good job.

 

The car had 36k miles when i bought it and now Im at 56k. My guess is all original. No tune. Yet.
