Default Which spark plugs?

My S2 is still a 1.6cvh is running 25psi of boost and is making 250bhp. Which plugs will be the best bet for this application as the current set of NGK 9's are past their best. Not really preppared to spend daft money on plugs but want the best sensible option possible.

what???

there bloody good! Had them in since the rebuild and not failed once! Got a set of Champions sitting in the car just in case though. I think they are the recommended plugs for 'high spec' cvh's and cost about £25.

I've got Denso P8 in mine.

They seem fine

£30 a set i think ( i think they are a cozy plug)

The way I look at it is.. What's £100 compared to a rebuild when the tip holes a piston?

champion C57's or if you want to spalsh out, get a set of Denso iridium racing plugs (IK01-27), they are exactly the same spec / heat range as an NGK9 and work very well on my car (running over 200bhp with 22psi)
