A lot of things go into making a chip "powerful", not just boost. If you are boosting a 1 bar or more (15+ psi), you want to keep your gaps tight or you will be replacing the coils soon.

well i did it, changed em and regapped em to .028 (i was a little impatient and used the cement floor to close the gaps which scratched it a bit but that doesnt matter) anyway, no more stuter!!!!!!

i also found oil in there which im guessing was bcuz i had a leak valve gasket cover which i fixed with spark plug covers too... all good now

extra thank you for your help

if i had put the coil pack in wrong order whicih i doubt would i notice it when driving?

0.028 inches = 0.071 cm

0.030 inches = 0.076 cm

Yes, I put the 5 bar fpr in, per Neuspeed's recommendation. However, I've run it with the 4 bar with no problems. Neuspeed recommends the 5 bar because Aaron Neuman, who does the programming, doesn't like running the fuel injectors at capacity. However, with the 5 bar, you're going to see long term fuel trims in the -10% range.
