        BP7ES's. Running it in my current build. My buddy ran it in his boosted M20 and it was ideal.

                Thanks Barry, I'm gonna go with the NGK Races.

                Looks like we have similar taste in cars.

                      I have been running stock Bosch Super, may change that depending on tuning whenever I get that done.

                        I recently checked compression...it was at 168psi. I was surprised that it was so high, I expected it to be around 150psi.

                        I bought this car from someone that didn't have the cashoala and BMW appreciation to build it correctly. I did the suspension, replaced the turbo, and plan to install megasquirt. It's gonna take a few months but, it should be nice when I'm finished. 'm not a cheapskate and plan to do it tastefully.

                        I'm assuming it should push around 230hp, It's set to 6psi at the moment.
                        It's also got a 4.10 LSD.

                        She smokes at lights sometimes....I'm not sure why, any answers ? The smoke comes from the exhaust as if the turbo had blow by. I replaced it and it's better buts till not smoke free.
