Does anyone know how to remove the 2 front torx screw for the air intake box.I change sparks plugs to E3 and an air intake.I can remove them by drilling holes to get to them.Any info would be helpful.

Just read the stats on the E3 Plugs, I have a question.

Have you noticed an improvment in performance? The reason I ask is the plugs claim to effectively increase performance by upping the combustion within the cylinder, this would seem perfect for non-turbos, since you would be getting more out of the burn and less un-spent fuel going down the pipes, but (i'm no expert) with a turbo, I thought, the idea is not to burn all of the mix on the first pass. It would seem logical to me that by having a more complete burn on the initial fuel dump, before the turbo spools would rob you of the extra combustiables needed on the second burn?

They also claim to never having to replace these plugs, with 3 electrodes I feel that 2 could fail and you would never know, this would slowly tax the motor?

If you can please relay your experience with these plugs that would help shed some light on this product. It seems that everybody is jumping on the "green" gold rush, with nothing really new, just a new way to sell it IMO.
