If so, I would tell you that changing the plugs and never using it again will be the ticket. What you describe in post #12 sounds eerily familiar.

got new O rings when i had my injectors rebuilt, still no change.






doing timing and plugs tomorrow. it only happens once the engine starts getting hot anf right before it builds boost it just starts crackling and popping. it could only do that if its getting too much fuel. if the timing and plugs dont fix it i guess i could get an adjustable fuel pressure regulator? would an old FPR cause too much fuel pressure once warm? hopefully i get it sorted tomorrow. really hopeful on the timing being off
