Got my '04 V70 T5 I'm getting on the road. As you know, it's the turbocharged 2.3 liter engine.

I threw in a set of Champion Copper Plus plugs to get the car up and running, but am wondering if I need to switch to a different plug in order to avoid damage and/or achieve the best performance.

Is there a best brand & part number for the spark plugs for this car?

I'm not looking for a pissing match about brands, etc., but am wondering if this is one of those engines (like a few of the older Saturn engines) that's hyper-sensitive to plugs.

Thanks!
