Providing your ignition system is all up to scratch, then you can run a larger plug gap, which give a better combustion, and this may see an improvement in both economy and power. However, on a 130bhp car, don't expect to feel much other than a bit of a "cleaner" response. Completely pointless if your leads / plugs / dizzy is 50 years old and done a 1,000,000 miles .

I have no idea, I thought it was going on Nick's Escort . As I said it allows you to do the above, so providing that the rest of your car's ignition system is up to scratch then it is beneficial. The extent of how this is measured is only a couple of bhp and mpg, but it is just a belt and braces job that the ignition is as good as you can get it. The stronger spark is less prone to boost blow-out though, so is highly recommended on a car running big psi .

If you're having spark plug blow-out issues and a fluffy high rpm feel, than yes. If not, then leave alone.
