Default Questions: who has replaced spark plugs? how many miles? what spark plugs? (more)
Where did you get them?

I pulled my spark plugs out to check compression last thursday and they did not look good (pretty burnt)

Im going to Sebring this weekend (YEAH!) and want the car to perform it's best (in other words, i dont want to blame the car for my times )

Any thoughts on the Bosch Platinum + 4?

Thanks

Default I wouldnt use a platinum plug.. I would use either Iridium or Silver..platinum
is overated in that all it is good for is extending service intervals. Doesnt conduct anywhere near as well as Iridium or Silver. NGK makes Iridum plugs and Beru is a good source for Silver. Not sure but dont think the +4 Bosch is suitable for a Turbo app.,
