I have the stock 2.0 turbo motor... gst. What are the overall best spark plugs that deliver the most power gains and are the most reliable, and of course safe on the motor. I realize its just a spark plug but i want to know whats considered the best/safest.

thanks guys
 
Stick with the manufacturers spec, ngk 7's and stock gap No reason to go out and buy some expensive plug if your stock. Once u start getting in to different fuel ratios and boost then you start needing colder or hotter plugs less gap or more gap. You have no modifications to too your car from what your profile shows, so if your stock stick with what it requires. The car will run like crap if its not right.
 
NGK tried and true.

It is sufficient for about 75% of hp goals of dsmers.

- If you have no or mild mods get - NGK BPR6ES or Autolite 63 Copper
- If you have moderate mods get - NGK BPR7ES or Autolite 62 Copper
- If you have a LOT of mods get - NGK BPR8ES
Gap plugs to 0.028 to 0.031". Use no other plugs. No platinum or dual electrode stuff.

First off thank you. And i have a new HMI 16 g trubo, new intake and new 3" carbonfiber straight pipe exhaust. brand new stage clutch, megans short throw shifter. running at 10/15 boost. What would you suggest?
 
It's a colder plug, so it may slightly foul out easier if you don't get it hot enough. If you run 16psi or more boost then a 7es will probably be fine for you.
 
if its stock then get the 6 if not then get the 7, im currently running a 7 gapped at .29 running 21lbs of boost and no issues.
 
I run these in my 420A with no issues. noticed a SMALL amount of increased MPG

Thanks for referring to that for me, Wes. I always feel like I'm self-promoting every time I post it. :)
