The proper plugs are the R42's    I have used the stock plugs and original spec wires and the car performs flawlessly. Have fun

R44 will be too hot, take them back or you may be asking them for some pistons as well.   :shock:  (assuming Delco is NOT backwards, higher=hotter)  Yes, R42LTS is right, and 7mm AC Delco are as good as it gets.  They probably didn't believe you had a turbo.   :lol:

NO, that is equivilent to a Rapid Fire #6 which is TOO HOT.  They gave you the plugs for a n/a 3.1  Like I said, the probably thought you don't really have a turbo, or don't care.

Or they are like most dumbass autoparts workers that when you say 3.1L turbo, they hear 3.1L and pick that one.  Thats why when I got to autozone I always watch the screen and when they ask which engine I say 3.1L Turbo and point to it on the screen and say "that one."  And I yell at them if they pick the wrong thing...its kinda funny when they are getting yelled at by a 120lb. 16 year old....it really makes them look stupid when a scrawny teenager is yelling at them.

NOOOOOO, buy R42LTS and NOTHING ELSE.  I run them in my (soon to be) 14 sec. auto and ~13 sec manual.  They work, trust me.  You don't need anything else, def. not platinums.  Iridiums, sure, but NO platinums.  They are not a perf. plug, they only allow you to not have to change your plugs at short intervals.  (Which after what I just went through, I wouldn't mind changing them twice a year.) :lol:
