Default what spark plugs to run with turbo?
I'm chaning plugs for the first time since my turbo kit. I was curious if I should run NGK TR5's (stock heat range 0.035 gap) or TR6's (one range colder, 0.035 gap)?

Thanks!

TR6's gapped at .030. .035 kept getting blown out by 8#'s. There are some instances though that even that is too wide and .028 is more acceptable.

TR6's here also. They run great and have had no problems.

I've run the NGK TR6's with both a D-1SC and TT setup. They work fine and they're inexpensive.
