To add to this, they are also very picky about plugs in general. Make sure they are the OEM plug and not some fancy platinums or anything stupid like that.

They are the only plugs that I personally would ever run in my car. NGK BPRxES. (he has the 6's i run 7's)

I completely burned up a set of NGK Platinum plugs in about 4 months of normal daily driving. I've had the set of regular NGK plugs in my car for about 8 months now, and they're still in really good condition.

Exactly. I tried Bosch platinums when i first got my Talon. The thing broke up badly in the higher rpms. NGK BPR7's for me now.

i think i am having the same problem with my 1g...
ive done a boost leak test, new plugs, and after i replaced a bad injector, it was boosting great.... then i took it out again and was gonna get some gas, then it just stopped boosting after 2500 rpm..... i was wondering if its the turbo???? i checked the wastegate and it still opens but i could not control the amount of psi going in before it opened...

i might pick up some new wires later... thats what im hoping itd be....

Stopped building boost completly? How does the car run otherwise?

it runs perfect before boost... but once it starts boosting it just sounds like a lot of backed up exhaust built up... and no boost reading or goin through... but once you get up on rpm.... it starts to read a little boost...

Pull your intake and check your turbo for shaft play.

Another "test" is you can temporarily unhook your wastegate and CAREFULLY watch your boost. You should build boost and very quickly without boost control.

DO NOT let it swing past 15psi as that is all you need for the test.

i checked the turbo and ran the wastegate straight through... still same results...
