QUOTE(DEATH @ Apr 16, 2008 - 10:31 AM) [snapback]665076[/snapback] See I don't get that. I've heard Copper>Iridium for turbo cars many times [especially from the MR2T guys] but noone seems to be able to offer an explanation as to why. I'm running NGK Iridiums right now and they run great. I agree on the "new plugs regardless = better performance" and attribute this to most of the "upgrades" people feel when going iridium but why is it a no no for Turbo cars? Copper is a great conductor and you can change the plug gap lower which is a benefit for turbo cars. Iridiums also work well, but most people believe that that the tips are too fragile and can break off under detonation and you cant change the gap on iridium plugs (well you CAN, but its not recommended).. So thats why most of us with turbo cars use copper plugs and just change them more often.
