Our owners manual tells us to gap our plugs between .048-.050 where or who told you to gap the plugs at .028? And what number NGK plug do you use.

If you get the NGKBKR 7E. They come already pre-gapped for turbo use. Its .34 I believe.

The owners manual recommendations for spark plug gapping is meant for NON turbo application.

And as far as spark plugs coming pre-gapped, I would suggest always double-checking them before installing. It only takes a second to be sure.

Well thats true if you are NON-TURBO. He has a TURBO, and if you have a turbo, you want to make your gap smaller, and run a colder plug.
Most run around .030 - .032 or even a little higher. I have found perfect results at .028 with my setup.
