Turbo guys, how do you have your plug wires set up on the turbo manifold side? I'm going to build some tomorrow and was thinking about trying some 90's on the plugs and making the wire just long enough to reach the coil pack. I have a bad misfire right when I enter boost and I'm thinking the wires are the problem. A few are singed but not burnt through just yet. I have zip ties holding them out of the way but it's kinda ugly.

If the wire is touching anything hot, even just a little bit, they will fail under boost and misfire. You need to make sure they are not singed at all and the insulation is not damaged. All of my wires are custom at this point to keep them far away from anything hot.

That's the problem I have now. Soon as I enter boost or a high load is starts cutting up. What's weird is it slightly clears up at full boost and higher rpm. The muggier it gets the worse it gets. Last night it was nasty outside and it ran terrible. I had some old msd wires I was going to use to make new ones, but I can't find them.
