Re:spark plug

But what kind of heat range?
The cumbustion chamber gets hotter so I would need a spark plug with a different heat range than when I run without a turbo

Re:spark plug

Well if you have problems with detonation you can go colder, but just run the stock heat range and pull them every few thousand miles and check them, if theyre glazed or somthing you might have to go colder.
