turbo plugs

Post by al/c »

i,ve just changed the plugs on my turbo, been using irridium ones for the last couple of years but the car is running much better on standerd ones, car obviously is not standard, but such a difference, won,t be buying expensive plugs again. rather replace them more often :)

Service items are service items... use them and replace them! :thumleft:

Same applies to air filters and oil filters.

Oh, fair enough. That's a bit poor. Perhaps they were the wrong grade?

Personally I like keeping copper plugs in mine. Gives me an excuse to do a compression test at the same time as changing plugs. (Yes, I'm paranoid about my pistonrings)
