OK, I know spark plugs have been covered a few times and I was searching around and basically found this.

- heat range 6 for less than 12 psi on stock turbo- Gap is between .028 and .036 ( i have seen alot of different answers)- NGK irradiums or coppers are best

so. I guess the question is.

Say im running a larger turbo but low boost until a good tune.

What would be the best plug for my application and what gap sould it be. Then once I have the tunability what should I bump the gap up to?

Im wanting to get a plug that will work now but will be able to work good under more boost laters too.

Im thinking maby the BKR7EIX ?

Thanks for your input.

The BKR7EIX with a .032 gap will suit you perfectly, once you turn the boost up, drop the gap down to .028 and you will be set.

Anything over 12/13 pounds gets a .022 -.024 gap from me.

No issues, same mpg, less worry.
