Standard stuff mate.

Turbos benefit from plugs but a 2.0 8v won't


Some people say they do, but replacing old spark plugs with new ones is a improvement.

Why would you need new carriers?

So what if they are rusted? Do you mean bolts?

Carriers rusted = bench grinder on the wire brush side.

Why carrier?

Just need new bolts surely. Irwin extractors will sort it. Or do you mean calliper bolts?
