Re: Platinums...turbo...oh, bad! Ned, you there?

["Stephen Bigelow" <sbigelow@sprint.ca>]

Apples and oranges, I believe. 10V with +4's or single plats vs. 20V
(triple?) plats

Has Ned tried the +4's on a 10V turbo? Ned, you there?

Seems that  a lot (but *not* all) turbo 10V motors don't like the single
plats. Fine.

How does that corelate to the +4's, which was the original thread here..

Not a bit, as far as i can see.

You may wish to read Neds recomendations again.

"If your budget can afford it use the better spark plug that is used on the
Audi 20-valve turbocharged engines that was not available when the 10-valve
engines were made:

Bosch F5DPOR

These plugs have a pair of platinum electrodes that are side gapped, but
have a price hovering around $20.00 each!"

A muliple platinum electrode plug.

huh.....Gee, didn't Bosch come out with an improved version of that, for a
whole lot less money?
