stock is 0.5 to 0.15mm. As they tend to close up I go for the bigger number. I wouldn't like to guess if Turbo bikes are different though.

someone who knows will be along shortly.............

0.1 to 0.15 mm is recomended for Mk2s they do close up in use and I wouldn't want to have one too close with a turbo.

Depends on if ur running std. cams or not. Im running old race spec Kent cams which have a much larger gap specified on theyre data sheets and website. I imagine ur running the std. cams tho with a turbo setup. :??

I always err towards the larger value so I dont have to do em so often. :lol:
