Audi 10v and 20v turbo engines simply reject the less-expensive Bosch Platinum
Plugs-- and it appears as though the verdict is still out on whether or not
the expensive Bosch Platinums (>$20 each) make the car run any better. >>

One datapoint on the FD5POR plugs in a 10v (modded) turbo...noticeable
improvement over the Bosch tri-electrodes.

As far as the 20v turbo the FD5POR is the o.e. plug and I would not recommend
anything but in that case.

Seems that consensous say that the tri-electrode is the next best thing...not
sure they are "silver" or not and am pretty sure they are not the o.e. plug.

Richard is correct though on the "el-cheapo" platinums...avoid them like the
plague!
