first of all iv got a 96 940 2.3t, only mods soo far are air filter and decat exhaust. its had a new genuine bosh lambda fitted, and new rotor arm, dizzy cap, ht leeds and spark plugs.
i just installed a mbc and after i did so and were testing it...the first couple of times it hit fuel cut so turned it down etc...but after a little bit it started spluttering at hard throttle at high revs assif there was an ignition problem. this was happening at .6/.7 bar. any thaughts?.
the spark plugs were heat range 6 and standard gapping whatever that is could the upped boost be fauling the plugs? do you think i could need a colder grade plug and gap it or could the problem lie somewhere else?, ignitor? cheers

Make sure you have no boost leaks and close the gap on the plugs alittle bit .but 6s should be fine at the boost your running .if you want to run higher boost then fit t5 plugs .
