    I am the new proud owner of a mk2 VR6 turbo, it is the 'oxford edition mk2'. I think it might have been the first VR conversion in a mk2? I want to give it a proper service so i know everything has been done and exactly what my start state is. What spark plugs would people recommend for a VR6T? It is running quite a high boost and pushing 350bhp. Any help would be awesome. cheers.

    If it is running '350bhp' then the old owner would have had the correct plugs in there to start with.
    I would remove the plugs and see what was used and replace with a new set of the same kind.

    That is even colder than the 7 rating qouted above. Yes I would replace with similar or what was suggested by Nutter4x4 and craggsy unless the previous owner had specific reason.

    If you want something that lasts: Bosch F5DPOR, aka "Audi RS2" plugs.
