Spark plug code help!
« on: 27 May 2014, 22:26 »
Trying to remember the best plugs for a 1.8 Turbo, not been mapped so a standard 150BHP. I am sure the plugs recommended on here for the 1.8 20vt's are NGK.....Code is something like BGR6KE?  I have Bosch Super 4's in her at the mo' but read they are not meant to be any good for these engines?  Any thoughts and help with the code?

Thanks  :smiley:

I ran super's for about 6 months. Never had any miss fire issues and did go fine.

However, when I switched to NGK 7's...the power seems to be delivered better.
