cheers i'll do a search but campus plugs ? dont think i'll have the balls to put my foot down on high boost on campus plugs, the cars been running over 20psi for 8 years now, never had 1 fault with the engine, thats sayin sumthin for a 5. apart from rust thats why its off the road with no mot:cry:

Campus plugs are fine, B8EVX's are equally fine.

9 grade is far too cold for a gtt engine.

I've ran B8EVX plugs for years; never had any prob's with them.

N3c are the o.e (Champion) Campus plugs. N3g/N6ycc (again, Champion) are the o.e gtt plugs.

Ive ran the b8evx for years without problems too, at various levels of boost/tune. The champion o.e plugs are good aswell:agree:

Campus ones are cheap as chips, and EVX's can be bought at GSF, local motor factors, Ebay, etc.

Cheers for the info lads, tried phoning GSF saturday, no answer, then went down there waiting in a queue for 8mins, couldn't wait any longer as had a driving lesson. i'll try Thursday, How much are they?

can't remember how much they are.
try phoning before you come down - they have a lost call list now and get in trouble if they lose too many...
