Alky H20 ratio

All,

My turbo seems to be bogging or not kicking as hard as it used to. I am running about 60/40 mix alk (denatured)/h20 and SMC pump speed on about 7-8 at 20psi, am I runnig it too rich? It just dosent kick like it used to.

Thanks!

I did some housekeeping as well, changed the plugs and wires. The wires had some crystal like build up. I change them and it running like a champ again.

Anyone had that problem or that type of build up? It was like small white particals on the end of the plug and inside the wire casing...

Nothing some dielectric grease can't take care of.
