Spark Plugs for a tuned Turbo?

Prior owner elected for EVOMS plugs. The car has a AWE 750R package from Prior owner. Should I go with the same EVOMS plugs or different?

Thanks,

Tom

The plug we recommend and sell with our kits is the Denso PK20PR-P8. We have a fantastic track record with them. I look at spark plugs as something that can't really improve a perfectly running car, but can definitely cause issues if they are out of spec or defective. These are one heat range colder than stock which works well for anything running pump fuel or unleaded race gas, and they are simply very reliable and dependable. It is such a pain to change these plugs that reliability is a huge factor. Nothing worse than putting in a set of OEM Bosch plugs and having one fail 400-500mi later and cause misfires...I've encountered that a couple of times over the years on 996 and 997TTs, and the headache was enough to solidify our faith in these plugs.

Thanks for the feedback. Pretty sure I had those or similar Denso in a modded 996tt some years back. I didn't know yours were Denso.

I’ve had the Pk20s in my 650+whp E85 stock turbo car for 4 years with absolutely zero issues.
