i need some help. i'm doing the custom ct-26 turbo setup. i know i have to gap the spark plugs to .030 like the 3s-gte. which plugs should i get? also, what kind of oil should i use. i am going to use synthetic, but does it matter what kind and what weight? thanks, i should have the project done in a couple of weeks. also, how do i control boost levels? how do i know how many psi i am running without just running it and reading the boost gauge?
thanks,
adam

Adam,
I would use NGK BKR7EVX-11 or NGK-BKR6EK plugs and gapped them at .030-.035".
The oil i run is 10w30, but i do not use synthetic (tip:if you do use synthetic you shoud not try to switch back to regular oil!!!!) I would rather change my oil every 1000-1500 miles and know the oil is fresh, rather than expect synthetic oil to last longer and take a chance! but that is my opinion.... the "regular oil" breaks down easier and will turn into like a thick black oose if you wait too long to change it. Oil gets alot hotter from the turbo and it will cook. (This is one reason why there are turbo timers to help the turbo cool down) No matter what, you do not want to leave any kind of oil in too long and not change it (especially in a turbo-charged car). And as for your boost...i am not sure what you are asking??? You can read the boost level right off the gauge to get a pretty accurate reading, why you would not want to look at the gauge I can not understand?. To control boost without getting a boost controler you can shim the wastegate actuator for a little more boost!! If that what you wanted to know??
See what a few more people say about your questions to back up what i have told you. Maybe someone else can add info or clear up some things that i have told you.
Hope this helps,
DG
