Oil is too thick and heavy to burn completely...that's why it's smoking. It gets caked onto your exhaust valves and the spark plug probes...the hottest parts of your engine. You will notice a HP increase when you change out the plugs...because it delays the spark...cooked oil is a pretty good insulator...just do it!

Since the car is now turboed…I would imagine that colder plugs would be needed. Since you got this “kit” from Decendent, why aren’t you talking with them? If I paid 4 large for anything, I would expect my @$$ to be kissed by their customer service repeatedly. They designed this kit…I’m sure they dynode it. That would be your best source of information. Now you are getting into particulars that there is no way I could possibly know those answers.

Ok I'll definitely give them a call for the specifics on what spark plugs I should use. Thanks for the help!
