Everyone seems to have different views on this topic....I was told by a well respected tuner to use big turbo escort cossie plugs, pp8's i think they are.....ain't had no probs with em, good for big boost as well! Got em from Ford, pricey tho!

Nothing, because 16 PSI is not extreme boost. The plugs you would have gotten at Ford would have done the job. Buy NGK BCR8ES cheaper than 57/59c and good enough or just as good.

Agreed


Myself and Mr C run these plugs with no problems at 2 bar of boost and 300+ bhp. Need we say anymore?
