Does anyone know what I should set the gap at on my spark plugs. I am putting a turbo on the car and I am running a colder plug. I just need to know what to gap them at. I heard that it should be gapped smaller cause the boost will blow out the spark.

THank youEric

.03 is about where I run mine (NGK Iridium). 13lbs boost 12:1 fuel ratio.

But what car/motor are you working on?I have an S14 SR20 motor with an S15 turbo.

I have a 2004 nissan 350z. It has the vq35 in it. I am installing the kit this weekend. It will be running 8.5 pounds of boost. Thank you for any help you could give. Eric
