Bosch makes horrible plugs just plain horrible go NGK or autolite coppers NGK #=2230 or 3330 Autolite#= 5503 turbo gap at .028 and N/A at i think .038 no too sure about the N/A one though look it up in the TSRM to make sure
yea just take them in and tell em you got the wrong plugs they will exchange them
EDIT:: I use NGK 6097's

from my (limited) experience, bosch and japanese engines do not get along. I installed them by mistake in my maxima and they caused horrible stuttering problems during acceleration.

bosch plugs are a nono absolute shite from what ive heard. Pretty sure not many places sell them now. (well local shops to me that is)
We often had DIY'rs that brought their Diamantes, Monteros etc into the shop complaining of poor idle, lousy driveablity etc after doing a tune up with Bosch Platinum plugs. 9 times out of 10 installing factory plugs would cure the problem. I don't understand the science (narrower insulator, higher resistance? etc) but there was always an inprovement when the factory plugs were used over the Bosch

Last time I got x6 for £43.00.:icon_bigg
Its not the plug, but the way the engine is set up. There lean burn racing motors. It might be the fuel octane rate thats shite. Cheap fuel poor performance.adampecush;913335 said:
I used Bosch Plat 4's in my 95 Eclipse RS on a 75 shot, they fouled out in 1 night.
After that I strictly use NGK's in all my cars.

You shouldnt use platinum plugs on a turbo car, in most cases theyre too hot. You'll want to run NGK copper plugs (6097s)and gap them properly. These are the bkr7e model which is probably a perfect heat range for most turbo applications. NGK copper plugs <$2 and will last quite a while, even if they done theyre cheap to replace.
