Re: SMALL single turbo project, thoughts welcome!

I agree, I've been running them for years. They're great, but do wear out fast. This car likely won't see more than 2-3000 miles a year tops if that, so it's not a big deal for me. I run a pretty tight gap on turbo cars too, plus they won't be very likely to foul with E85. I'm happy with the decision for now.

They don't make any V-power plugs that are resistor plugs in a 9 heat range...I'd either have to go with iridium (which is nasty price-wise, and can form hot spots = very bad for E85). They make a surface-discharge plug in a 9 that would be ideal, but they're obscenely expensive ($20+ each)...the only other alternative is a different-style surface discharge plug, also astronomically expensive ($50+ per plug)...so if I go with a surface-discharge type in the future it will definitely be a Brisk.

I'll be posting some pics of a few of the parts I've got waiting to go on later today. Cell-phone pics again, but better than nothing.
