I run leading plugs all around. I have ever since I did the turbo swap with no emissions.

No ill effects. It actually runs a whole lot better that way.

Alright so I swapped in the new plugs. It seems to idle much better now, but while I was letting it idle I tried to blip the throttle (it was idling fine just prior to this) and it ended up dying on me. I couldn't get it to restart, it seemed quite lathargic when attempting to turn over.

I won't know too much more about the current state of affairs until after I start driving it around more. At least I feel like it'll be able to get me to the garage without problem.
