spark plugs (ADVISE PLZ)

I have a 95 tsi awd TURBO, was wondering what is the best brand plugs to run in my car, have ran some brands but they suck. Everything is stock also.



ERIC THANKS

I've been running Bosh platinum multi-tip plugs and recommend them highly. These are also commonly referred to as premium platinum plugs. There are other manufacturers that make them, but I've only used Bosch myself.

I've got 207,000 miles on my Talon, and I'm on my 2nd set of Bosch platinum plugs. I put the first set in at about 40,000 miles, I put the 2nd set in at a little bit less than 140,000 miles. Fact is, that first set could have gone a lot longer, but I didn't think it was worth taking a chance on something as inexpensive as a set of spark plugs.

On the other hand, I have probably gone through 4 sets of spark plug wires in that time. The original set that as on the car went bad at less than 60,000 miles, so I've been changing them about every 40,000 miles or so since then.

Bummer. I got my last set at Pep Boys. I don't know that you're going to see any difference between brands to be honest, there are other manufacturers that make them. Here's a link that shows the whole Bosch platinum line up: Bosch (http://www.boschusa.com/AutoParts/SparkPlugs/)

Get the NGK BPR6ES

sorry i think it's NGK BPR7ES

NGK's, stick the those for your car. Boschs are good on euro cars and american cars, but not our cars.

Hey snickers umm the parts store does not list ngk for my car, just want to make sure that them plugs will work in my car and stupidsm you say the same plug also as the 1 he is saying?

go to either

www.diamondstarmotorsport.com

or

www.turbotrix.com

Either one will help you out. Is it 1g or 2g because I have a 1g and those are the part numbers. If it's 2g it may differ. But go to the websites they'll hook you up with em.

Hey thanx Matt i got em and damn they are not cheap!!!!! for the OEM ones they are $5 each and for the better ones they are $12 each, I have the 2g they are different thanx again for your help

what $12? where did you go?? Mine were only $2.50!!!!!!!!! each.

Let me know.

i went to the site and it was $12 for the set. Are you sure you understood him correctly?

Dont put anything "bosch" in any turbo car.
or high output car. they are nasty cheap plugs and will burn up real quick.

DSM's come stock with NGK's, and some of the highest number running guys still use the NGKs.

BPR6ES is stock
BPR7ES is a colder running plug.
go with the 7es if you are running over 14 psi.

I suggest buying both the 6es and 7es. And trying out different gaps on them both. to find your "sweet" setup. you'll most likely notice a very small increase in power.

well said :)

Yes my mistake they were $12 a set, and thanx for your help u2 diviniti, car seems to run stronger without the hesitation like it had, oh i got them at pep boys

no problemo.

and for future reference, I have a local shop here that sells NGKs for $1.25 each. so its $5.00 for a set of either 6es or 7es and I think they do ship also.

Boch Platnium +4's are the way to go. I put them in my '94 Talon and they are incredible!!! I bought mine at Canadian Tire (i am not sure if those are in the states) So not much help there, but I love them they made a difference! I love them a lot and would recommend them to anyone

The Bosch +4's are what I have been running. As posted previously, I put around 100,000 miles on my first set and could have gone longer. I am quite sure they were at least $4 or $5 per plug, which is quite a bit more than those NGK's, but for 100,000 miles of use I don't think $20 for spark plugs is anything to get upset about.

I've read a number of very negative comments about Bosch on these Talon forums, and I really don't understand that, but then I never bought the el-cheapo version of their plugs either.

Bosch plugs are awsome plugs for other cars. But you want to run ngks on your turbo car.

That is a possibility, my Talon is not a Turbo. But I really dont understand why it would make a difference. I have a friend who has a Turbo Talon, and he is running the same plugs as me and it is fine.
