    Yeah I use the same Cosworth plugs and can't fault them.

    I've used different plugs in the past - Ngk -VX BCP7EVX and Idriums etc and they seemed to pop/splutter when in boost.

    Do you have to adjust the gap on the cosworth plugs? And are these genuine ford??

    I'm running at 15Psi and so far so good.

    P.s these plug dont need to be gapped as they are 0.6mm, but take your old plugs out and you'll see the difference.
    If no improvment its between the Cosworths and ardens suggestion...

    GM is the way to go! Never had an issue but I would advise avoiding DENSO plugs from regal.

    Yeah I was having same problems when I came into boost, but these plugs I can't fault, they seem to be working good on my spec.
