I finally spent a few bucks this year and changed the plugs after almost 3 years :oops:

Really Nice difference. I cleaned the intake and tb also.

How often should I be changing them on my turbo.?

Wow!

You felt no difference after 3 yrs?
What kinda plugs where they?

I just recently changed mine, after I suspected them causing a hesitation. I was right. The platuniums lasted about 5K for me.

Replaced with good Ol coppers.

platinums get a resounding booooooooo from the peanut gallery.

I think he was saying that after 3 years, changing the plugs created such a noticable difference that it felt like a performance modification compared to before. Which means the interval should definately be less than 3 years. :lol:

Damned metric system... I change my plugs every 50k km (50 Mm?). NGK coppers, heat range 6 last time... probably going with heat range 7 next for a colder spark.

My car started getting ruff at idle and started laging alot.. So I thought plugs or wires and plugs are cheaper :D

My TB an intake was not that dirty though. :o


I think I've put about 50k on the car since I've had it..
