Long Term Spark Plug Thoughts

[jimlloyd40]

I must be lucky. When my wastegate actuator started failing and got an epc. Told the wife I could get it fixed for cheap or use this opportunity to get a bigger turbo. She said go for the new turbo or even better, just get a Golf R since 0% financing. Of course that's not going to happen, but it's the intention.

Wow what a wife. You're obviously doing something right.

Yep, sounds like a keeper.
I got lucky, too. I buy car parts and guns, she buys expensive shoes. It works out.

You're getting the better end of that deal.

Absolutely. Thankfully she's not buying Louboutins every other week. But I get her stuff, too, so it's all good.

3M makes adhesives to fit the sole of the louboutins. I got some for my wife recently when i got her some new boots for christmas. Stick them on carefully, then trim with an exacto knife or beard scissors, and press out any bubbles. Now the bottom doesn't scuff and wear out so quickly, even when she walked through a bunch of rocks in them, lol. best 15$ investment for a 1700$ shoe...

My wife needs to buy Louboutins first.

big pill to swallow on 1700 shoes. A clutch or BT you use all the time, shoes tho only when they wear them.

I agree. Thankfully my wife can see the distinction, even if she doesn't always jump up and down from excitement when I put new mods on my car.

Just tell her about the hatch pop kit. It's a safety issue, after all. (My wife jumps away every time I pop the hatch.)

So EQT tech support are being adamant about using NGK race plugs for $40 a pop on a stage 2 car. My question is: do spark plugs have a break in period? Say I install the Brisks and get some knock; should I replace them right away or wait to see if they "break in"?
