Yeah, I thought you said you were racing a gti, just making sure. I hate for you to end up like so many on this site. Got a turbo on, then racing the same night, then boom what happened.

umm they just look like regular plugs you should be running iridium or copper plugs for boost but for your boost range you will also want to get colder plugs anyway

Whoa, you didn't overboost did you? That would be a sorry way to find that out.

Honestly, I'd get that thing replaced, or swap turbos asap. If it fails once it will probably fail again.

You should gap them at 28 that what I have mine gap to. The 2.2 is a lot stronger than people think I ran mine at 12 psi and it leaned out to about 12.8 to 12.9 and I been running like that for a while now. I know its stupid but im looking to build the motor soon. so it don't matter if it blows.
What size turbo at you running?
