Help! Rough running after tune-up (cont.)

[Robert Myers]

For boosted Audis Ned Ritchie recommends Bosch F5DPOR plugs.  Retail price
~$20 each.  You will likely find them from the usual suppliers such as
rod at thepartsconnection.com for somewhere in the $11-$12 range.  I, along
with many others, have used them with admirable success in a series of
turbocharged Audi engines.
