Spark plug wire difference - n/a or turbo

corrosivecopper · 11-07-2009, 07:03 PM

Hi all.. I searched the forum for this question but seen nothing, unless I missed it.. Is there any actual difference between plug wires for the turbo 7MGTE and the N/A 7MGE? They look exactly the same, and I know there's only minor differences between the engines, but stores advertise them separately., including different part numbers. Please can someone clarify this? Thanks

They will be different lengths as the wires on the 7MGE go to a distributor on the exhaust side of the engine, whereas on the 7MGTE they go to a set of coil packs on top of the engine. Also, the 7MGTE wires have integrated clips to attach them to the coil packs.
