For plugs you can use Bosch W7DTC or NGK BP6ET spark plugs. Both are tri-electrode and the Bosch are OEM. I am using the NGK's with no problems. To remove the air filter, start by taking the pipe from the air boot to the turbo off and then take the intake scoop off the airbox. Then you just take the side off the airbox and change the filter.

Yes actually I do like it but since it came with the car I have nothing to compare it to.

Took about 20 minutes to change the filter this eve. I want to know who the sadistic engineer was that designed the airbox.
