Got any better pics of the bracket or where you relocated yours to? I want to relocate mine soon, I just don't want to pay through the nose to do it. Also, what'd you make the plug wires out of? Did you use the ends from your existing plug wires and just add an extra length of wire between the ends?

I think the field will be big enough to have classes of C5 FI at our Milan rental. Stock cubes vs Big Cubes, Stock Botton-End (caugh caugh) vs Forged Motor, etc, etc. I get a half second head start though as you have an auto.

I will take some better pics of the coil brackets, I did use the stock coil ends and new spark plug boots and terminal ends.

I just changed out my spark plugs to switch to a colder plug. If I had to do it again it would take about 1 hour to do. That is not counting jacking the car up.

The passenger side plugs can all me reached from the top.

The drivers side #5 & 7 need to be removed from underneath the vehicle...actually very simple. I just put my arm between the oil filter and frame with a socket and took them off. My arms are not as big as they used to be, but even at 18" they fit fine.

#1 & 3 have to be removed from the top and can be done using 2 extensions, 1 universal, and a swivel spark plug socket. It was easy with the extensions I slid them right under the waste gate vent tube and removed and installed them.

Hopefully this will end the "how do you change the spark plug" questions that seem to be the big question when somebody sees this kit...it starting to become a little humorous.

This kit looks so awesome on your car.

I think if I had seen these pictures of the PTK kit, I would have done this kit over the TTiX kit.

For some reason it just doesnt look like the huge spider web kits of the early shots.

This looks AWESOME FOR SURE!!!!
