Turbo plugs

I am running NGK TR6 plugs for my turbo car. Can i run the gap they come with or do they need to be adjusted?

You should always check the gap before putting them in. I adjust my tr6's to a .035 gap, usually I have to close them

I put mine to .028, had some problems with the wider gap. The spark was getting blown out I guess.

It really depends on the setup and tuner .032 has always worked for me.

The same kit that's on my car on the previous owners car used TR6s gapped at .035 with no issues at 14psi. On my car, TR6s have to be gapped at .028 or they'll blow out, even at 11psi.
