#45565, "Spark plugs for a car with higher compression?"


          

Hey guys -- I need to change my plugs, and have noticed that the car feels a little different -- kinda chokes on itself -- if i give it too much gas going too slow in 5th gear -- what plugs -- heat range etc.. should i get to help alleviate this problem?


2003 VW GTI 1.8t.. I used to have a 95 Eclipse but well...water sucks.

You would probably want Iridium.......Denso is a really high quality Iridium plug......IK16 is the code our plug uses

you might want colder plugs, I know most race cars use colder plugs like a NGK7E
