I just called the dealer: looks like the spark plug wires I bought were mislabeled so I put them on the wrong cylinders. The car's fine now, I wish I wasn't such a doof sometimes.

I haven't found out yet. I need to cold start the car to see if it'll start better. The dealer put on a new radiator and a new clutch (all free) while it was down at his shop. When I got it back I noticed it was still hard to shift up and down sometimes. I've had the slave and master cylinder changed, the transmission fluid flushed and now there's a new clutch. Is there anything else I can do?

I'll update tomorrow with the starting problem.

Another thing:

I've noticed that my turbo isn't catching. It'll start to pick up around 2800 RPM and accelerate to like 3200 RPM and then just rock back and forth. Any ideas?

a turbo doesnt "catch" it spools and its probably not a turbo problem, is it still doing it with the new wires.

Yeah, the new wires didn't make any difference on the turbo spooling correctly. Although this morning she did cold start, even though it was really weak start. It only started around 400 RPM and slowly moved itself up to around 1k. Any ideas?

all i know is my car had some sort of the same problems you are describing, and it was cuz i needed new vacuum lines.. tighten any hoses... and i had a pretty bad exhaust leak. whe i fixed the exhaust leak it fixed the problem.

Im not quite sure at what you are getting at here...
when u say rocking back and forth do you mean like stuttering?
... go through your turbo piping and make sure that there isnt any leaks or loose connections...
does your car rev higher than 3200?
