Default What Parts to Use?

Hi everybody,

I have my 1st cossy. Its a rwd fiesta and im hoping to call on the wealth of experiance in here to help me out!! Thanks in advance!

I have just bought a new Turbo Technics T35 hybrid for it. The last T34 had small marks and like chips gone out of the blades.

Im also going to do a few small jobs like new plugs and leads and also thinking about changing the Air Filter. Currently it has a Pipercross foam filter. Would anyone have a recomendation for what parts to use?

Also would an oil cooler and a dump valve, im thinking about the GGR group A type one??

Could people put there preferred tried and tested option next to the following:

Oil:
Dump Valve:
Air Filter:
Plugs:
Leads:

Thanks.

Shane

For oil I use either SUNOCO racing 20W/50 or Silkolene Pro S, dump valve is a collins diaphragm one, much louder than piston types, drilled out holes to increase noise.
Air filter I have a group a cone(K&N), plugs depends on engine spec, but std and up to around 280 or so I would use AGPR12PP8, with a group a coil, 0.65mm gap, above that a set of IK31, or 071 would be safe in anything, but won't be quite as smooth low down.
I always use Magnecor where I can, don't know if you have coilpack ?, if so a ACCEL 140018 coilpack improves matters as well.
