NGK or stockers. Any reason for swapping out the stock ones?

having some ignition problems, really rough acceleration and idle. car is throwing a check engine light for the PTU but i figure, since i have had the car for over 10K miles without change them and the plugs, its about time to change em. who knows how long the guy before me had em in

Yeah, rough acceleration led back to the plugs and wires for me, but if you can find a set of good stock wires they are proven to hold up to some abuse.

silicon wires are shit mate they last 1/4 of the life of stock. buy stock wires for peace of mind

Whatever you decide to go with, stay away from straight boot wires! Straight boots can arc, and don't protect the chamber from foreign objects.

Make sure your get wires with the stock boot. I bought 9mm irridium core wires off ebay to replace my straight-boot MSDs for $80 that came with plugs, and I love them! The 9mm's are red but they have 10mm blue ones as well.

Also, I would highly advise against using the stock gap. I gapped my plugs previously at .44 and got nothing but blowout. I changed the gap size to .34 and my car runs like a champ now, holding 14psi on stock turbos. (if you don't take my advise, please please PLEASE research spark plug gapping before you stick with the stock gap)

good luck man!
