My lower intercooler hose popped off again so it fouled my NGK's and while i was at work i told my dad to go pick up some NGK Coppers, instead he picked up Bosch Super Plus Coppers. Are these any good? If not i will go exxhange them for NGK Coppers.


Thanks

Bosch = crap

but the part's stores push em hard cause they get bonuses for selling their junk...

not saying they won't work fine, but Denso or NKG is FTW

Apparently they are out of NGK's, Densos, and Autolites. All three stores

One Store has 2 NGK Coppers
Another has 1 NGK Copper
Another has 0

Some of the stores got kickbacks on the platinum Bosch plugs. The supers are 0.99 cheap ass plugs. Get yourself some damn NGKs, or Autolites.

I work at an auto parts store and I dont even offer those plugs to customers unless they ask for them...if they ask me my opinion on them I tell them they are junk, I did try to use bosch 2+'s in my old NA motor because I was curious and they started missing within a couple hundred miles....so bosch = :thumbdown

Bosche plugs are such a scam. Every single time ive gone to the parts store and asked what they recommmend for my car it comes up "Bosche Platnum" WTF is wrong with these places. Why Bosche is at the top of the list all the time is beyond me you'd think it would be bad for business.

If they don't have them in stock, they can have them the next morning by 7:00 a.m., so it's not that long of a wait. I usually buy mine twelve at a time so I have extras. I change my plugs more than the average bear though. Here lately I"m changing motors more than the average bear.

Whatever you do, don't use Champions...I just had one break off in my Mercedes and the set was only about 3 weeks old... :nono:

The Bosch platinum +4's ran great in my truck...cause they take a LOT to foul out.

Ran like crap, but always ran...

Such is not the case with a supra, plugs are pretty important with forced induction.
