Yeah, vatozone should have them. I got mine from oreilly. I'm sure a good majority of parts stores have them. Just give them the part number, cause if they search for them by vehicle, their system will show a completely different plug.

No. The set of 4 should cost between $10-$15 depending where you get them from. They're basic copper plugs, so there's nothing special about them except that they're proven to work well in turbo dsms.

As far as boosting, yeah. I guess the previous owner got fed up with it not boosting properly, so he sold it. I had to change the throwing bearing and clutch release fork due to a bad slave cylinder the second week i owned the car. Shortly after that, I replaced the timing belt and all accompanying components, and enjoyed my gst on a daily basis until I recently sold it. At stock boost on the evo3/14b turbo with hard intercooler piping and a 3 in. cat-back exhaust, I would give stock and lightly modded g35s and 350zs a run for their money.

first six months of my dsm were hell, couldn't figure out y my car was misfiring ended up being the CPS, car overheated already knew where that was going, got engine rebuilt, then suspension collapsed on one side of the car come to figure out i had the BS type coilover sleeves that were mounted on some ground down struts, i ended up replacing all the shocks and springs and had to get new bushings, finally thought i was finished then ended up needing new tires me having 19s before i ended up in total spending 600 on tires

Getting the correct NGK plugs is good advice, also make sure you gap them correctly to 0.028".

If you are really having fuel cut though and your boost gauge says only 9 psi then you obviously have a big boost leak. Your turbo is pulling to much air through the maf sensor and the car knows it can't provide enough fuel for that much air so it cuts the engine out all together. You need to do a boost leak test.

Also from what I read in this thread there is a lot of wrong information. Adding a bigger pump and bigger injectors will not prevent fuel cut because your factory ecu doesn't know that you added these things. The only thing that affects fuel cut is your maf sensor. If to much air is pulled through it then your engine will cut out.

When you do add bigger injectors so you can run more boost then you need a way to make your ecu work with them. A piggyback is a device like the Apexi S-AFC it modifies the signal from the maf sensor so the ecu thinks there is less air going through it then there really is. A better tuning solution is to use ECMlink or if you have a 98-99 ecu you can re-flash it with the ceddy mods stuff (I don't know a whole lot about this method).
