Since I'm going BOOST soon,just want to know what the different plugs can do to an NA form for now(I want to Max out in NA form with I,E,Y,UR pully,MEVI,and ECU before I boost),good or bad?Cause I don't want to waste extra $$$ toward plug while I can BOOST earlier.If you know pls let me know,thanx alots!

If you are going to boost in the near future there is no point in buying expensive plugs since you are going to have to run at least one step colder plugs when you boost. The best plugs for boosted applications are the copper NGKs, and they are cheap. Buy a set of BKR5E-11 for now at $2 a pop, then switch to BKR6E regapped to .034" when you are boosted.

Thanx Stephen Max,so the BKR5E-11 is as good as the stock platinum or close for less $$$?How long will it last if I get all the NA mods for a few months,then I'll go BOOST?Where do you find it for $2 a pop at?I just came back from Auto zone and they said they can order it and it's $4.20 a pop.

Order online Frank, when are you doing the install, I would love to be there. The plugs are copper I believe so they last about 20,000 miles. I thought you bought another 4th gen. Your going to do it to your car with the mevi.

So Steve,do you know where they sell it for cheaper?Yeah I just got me another 95 5sp SE,but it need a little work,and I'll prolly swap the MEVI from the 96 Auto into the 95.I'll drive the 95 for a few months with NA/MEVI/ECU to see how fast in NA form before I go boost,I already got walboro 255 in the tank.So are you going to custom your turbo or just buy a kit?I'm thinking buying a kit,but don't know which kit I should get?I might call you later if I go custom turbo,maybe you and me we should go custom turbo to save $$$.
