Hello guys first i have the following mods.Catless downpipes out the turbos, secondary cats present.5"intercooler, custom alluminum chargepipe with hks, and dci's, basically FBO bov, stage2+mhd 93 oct(running 100 octane from local gas stations).Ive been going at this for a couple of months now.So the main issue was once the engine and oil got warm enough to reach normal operating temps, the idle would feel very very shaky inside the car, and small pops would come out the exhaust.Almost sounded like an american v8.Wot would rip through all gears, no issues whatsoever.Used to run ngk 97506 gapped at 0.020, with delphi coils, stock injectors index 1, swapped the#6 with an index 3 I found for cheap.A couple of days ago, after reading other threads, I thought my plugs are the culprit so I changed thwm(besides running them for 5k km only)with ngk 97968 gapped at 0.022.Ever since then not only my idle is as bad as before, not I get misfires and check engine light on wot...Basically I spent some money making it worse.I will post the log I have on idle, and one I did commuting home tonight, not really wot, basically a second-third-fourth shift with forth going full pedal.I will log a wot later today if it is needed...thanks a lot
The first attachment is an idle, second is the semi-pull

The old injectors are probably the issue. For a FBO car you should just use stock plugs, anything else is a downgrade.

Sometimes in the winter here in Romania, temps are around 0 degrees celsius, and In the morning cold starts would take 2 to 3 cranks for the engine to start.Maybe injectors as you say
