How many MM should the gap be on the spark plugs for the 2.0 Turbo CT?

Dunno. What I do remember is that both times I pulled the sparkplugs there was zero wear. From now on, they stay in until she gets hard to start when cold, which is the telltale of excessive spark gap.

depends on what plugs you have in it, all recommended plugs are 0.9mm apart from Bosch which is 0.8mm ( information based on a 1995 motor )

In the distant past when I ran petrol engines (they had carburetters then) I didn't touch the plugs unless starting became difficult, then I took them out, cleaned them and closed the gaps up until they were about the thickness of your thumbnail, that always used to cure it.

Activa spark plugs are special ones that require no adjustment of the gap.
