Spark plugs

Post by whitetrash »

Raising boost on my Rev2 turbo (12-14psi) with EBC and FCD.

Want to give it a service before hand can anyone suggest a plug grade for this?

Cheers guys[/img]

An emotive subject, as different people will have their pet favourites.

BKR6EIX are a good choice. We have them at £25 a set inc. shipping.

BKR7E is all you will need. they will work from stock and i had them still working at 500bhp! they are about £2 each.
