greddy turbo newbie questions

ok heres my dilema......I install the greddy kit myself and it was a sucess. No leaks, No ruff idle, and vaccum/oil lines were securely tighten.

ran a test run and everything was where is was needed to be. this past weekend it ran fine also.

but now its been flooding not a whole lot but enough to make the plugs not being able to fully fire up the engine. It happened to me 3 times already with in the past12 hrs. Is it maybe because im running NGK-5255 plugs? I thought the stock plugs were too hot for the kit.

It seems to run fine when it does finally start but why is it running so rich?

sorry for the newbie questions but I want to fix this problem asap. thanks in advance

Could be the plugs. The colder plugs are not required, especially for low boost. I have a few thousand miles on stock plugs with the greddy at 6 PSI with no issues.

plugs aren't the issue. I'd look at the tuning

What is your AFR? Do you have an AFR gauge?

Not that it might fix your problem, but I use to use rx-7 plugs in my 8.
