Hey,
I have been told that the right plugs for my Turbo'd Tib are NGK BCPR7ES and apparently the gap should be .45 - .5mm so the spark does not get blown away by the boost.
The plugs that are in the car are NGK BCPR6ET ( Multi Terminal - so you can't set the gap)
I need help with this decision.......? cool.gif

I'm running one step colder (fyi, if you can't find the list of steps of coldness for the Tib, then get plugs for a mid 90's Subaru Legacy (any motor), they are one step colder).
I'm running a .035 gap. .040 is closer to the stock number.

Yes that is the correct part # as I have about 3-4 boxes with 10 each sitting here, I change my plugs after every run so I go through a lot of plugs. cool.gif

Java you can run either one the only difference between the 2 part numbers is one has a slightly taller porcelain body.
And for the gaps it will vary between car to car, you will just have to adjust it until you don't blow the spark out.
