Default Do i need to uprate my plugs for remap?

I've decided to just stick to standard TD04 and grey injectors for remap, then will upgrade turbo and injectors for next year

But just wondering can i just fit a fresh set of NGK's PFR6B or should i upgrade to the PFR7B's?

Hi there

6b should be OK for yours needs as they're used on midlly modified cars and on more modified cars I would go with 7B or BKR8EIX or if you are going beyond 500-600bhp then NGK Race 8's are most common upgrade,but we are run BKR8EIX on our wagon at 555.5bhp

Hope this helps

Thanks,Jura

Hi there

Really depends what power you will be running and how much you looking spend,but BKR8EIX are cheaper than PFR7B,we run them on our wagon and we are been happy with them

On yours I would go with BKR7EIX or 8,really depends how much boost and how much power you are thinking to run

Hope this helps

Thanks,Jura

Hi, looking to run about 280bhp to 300bhp.

Been told i can achieve between 270bhp and 280bhp with the standard TD04 and injectors. So i might just try that for now.

Hi there

I would stick for now with 6's for now,they should be good enough for 270-280bhp,beyond that I would go with BKR series or 7's

Hope this helps

Thanks,Jura
