Default Which Spark Plug To Use?

Can someone please tell me the spark plug part number to use for my car. The book only tells me the champion part number. The car had bosch plugs in it before and i took them to the parts store to match them because when i called them they said their was no number matching my car made by bosch, and i thought that was insane cause many of the parts are bosch on my car. So when i got their he crossed referenced the plug i had with a NGK plug. So in my car now i have NGK's and now i am second guessing the hole thing. If someone could tell me what the part number for the bosch or the ngk that would be great thanx.

NGK Part #
Bosch Part #

Don't use Champion.

I have said this before: Champion plugs aren't even fit for my lawn mower.

Volvo, NGK, or Denso is the only way to go.

It almost makes me wonder if Volvo plugs are re-labeled Ford MotorCraft or Champion plugs anyway....

I had bosh platinum plugs in my 850 for 8 years with no problems. Switched to OEM Volvo last month and didn't notice any difference

IPD doesn't say about the bosch ones working for turbo or non turbo. I guess the bosch work on both?

I had Bosch platinum +2's in my T5 wagon I just sold. I never had a problem, but I've never been a huge fan of Bosch stuff.

But then again, this is coming from a life-long Toyota owner. Toyota's don't like Bosch plugs. Denso FTW!

I ran NGk G power's platinum' for a while no problem seemed quite, good took tech;s advice bought volvo OEM turbo plugs which are platinum as well, tips aren't as fine but a pre-gapped and work great, don't notice a difference, best to be on the safe side, for price i'd stick with NGK. But i'm running the volvo platinum when i bought it, it has volvo copper plugs :? dunno how i feel about them but it ran great.

^ those are the cheaper of the NGKs, which i use. The box says "V-power" i assume, and they are dirt cheap ( like 2 bucks each, which is not my reason for using them) - IMO they are just as good as the more expensive ones, and they haven't caused any detonations.

Any more opinions?
