Let's talk about fouled plugs

I appreciate the offer, but I'll simply let the car sit and drive the van. I've got 550/800. I've got a RB exhaust, custom TID and Rtek 1.7 on the car. I even though the engine is in break in and not seeing any boost or RPMs above 4k...I'd hate to run the risk of running lean and detonating.

I have a question related to leaky injectors. I had engine parts powder coated and was not thinking about the dampener/regulator in the S5 secondary fuel rail. Should I be replacing my secondary rail because that dampener/regulator could have been damaged during baking?

The dampner is in the primary rail, the regulator is in the secondary rail. I'd tee is a fuel gauge before replacing the regulator. test are pretty straight forward... but, both the front and rear would be flooding if your pressure was too high.

That's what I was thinking. The fuel rail is open so both would flood.

If you have flooding in only one rotor, it could be that one or both of the injectors on the flooding rotor are leaking down. In other words, the injector is gummed up and not closing fully when you shut the car down, so only that rotor floods.
