I run them in my GO 3 and 5 port engines and I'm very happy. Keep in mind since a turbo button has a tapered seat the length of the plug doesn't really matter.
I could get in to some serious scientific theory about wire core thickness, wire core diameter, plug bore diameter, coil turns, coil length, etc. but that would just take up way too much time.
Bottom line, the Merlin Plugs work great, are very cost competitive and Aldon has 50 years in the RC industry. He's been making plugs for many OEMs for many years.
