Spark plug gap when using coil pack
Really sorry if this has been covered a thousand times before.
Whats the standard plug gap for a turbo'd motor when running a coil pack?
Standard ERST gap is 0.7mm.
Thanks

Is the spark not likely to get blown out with a gap that big?

Will i need to get it set-up immediatly after changing to a larger gap??
It was mapped with the coil pack but only a 0.7mm gap.
Thanks.

No problem at all, but may as well make full use of the coil pack

true.
You should get the A/F checked after changing gap though.
I would consider a remap as well to be on the safe side of risk/reward!
