well, yes, you dont want to go boosting on a cold car, but you wouldnt want to go flooring any car that just started up, and you want to make sure your temps are in check, but its not that big of a deal, the only thing you want to worry about with spark plugs on a turbo is the higher performance ones, but its still just spark plugs, spend 40$ on some densos, the $90 on the magnacores, and you will be sparking all day to your hearts content, recently jsu got a blizzard here, tmeps are freezing all the time, baby starts right up everytime

I think bobaab is talking is the heat range of the plugs themselves. On boosted cars you usually like to stay in the colder range and lots of boosted cars also use copper plugs since again, they run colder.

I already bought the denso so i should return them no I havent taken them out yet. should they be fouled already my cell light is on and every thing,but when the cars runing right or i keep it at a good idle is sounds better then ever. i also just got my exuast fixed the flex pipe fell off at the turbo and had choice but to drive it for a week could that be some of the problem.

shouldnt be a problem but the cel light may be on because you may be running too rich.. thats why mine comes on.. but do what u want with the plugs... u can keep em.. or u can save yourself some money by buying ngk's the throttle problem ... do u have an AFC.. try chaning the low throttle on that.. if u have 1.. or turn the throttle up by turning the screw..

edit:: if you have your exhaust back on.. the cel light probably came on because u had no 02 sensors... disconnect the negative for a few secs and your cel light will come on.. if your exhaust is back on it probably wont come back on. I think
