You'll get plenty of different opinions here. Some love NGK others Champion; no one likes both.

Personally I use NGK BPR8ES plugs, these are what are fitted to the Escort RS Turbo. They have a shrouded electrode and I've never had any problems.

Although it has to be said, they don't like getting wet with fuel.

Forgotten more than most ever know

I use normal BP7ES plugs, quite satisfactory for normal road use. For lengthened period of full boost use I´d swap for 8´s. (For road use these are too cold IMO, easily dead with rich mixtures. Is applies to n/a engines as well)

I use NGK B8ECS (short ground electrode). Never fouled. Used warmer B7ECS before - never had problems.
