Has anyone run one of these engines. I was thinking of upgrading one of my Tmaxx trucks with one. Its a Novarossi 2.5 supercharged engine upgrade for the maxx series trucks.

I haven't run one but Novarossi has a pretty good rep & at $180 for engine, header, pipe & rotostart backplate thats a steal if your wanting another 2.5/.15 engine for truck.

Thats what I thought wonder how power compares to the traxxas 2.5

What is the difference In regular plug and turbo plug heads

Has to do with how they seal and fit inside the combustion chamber. A turbo plug always seats flush with the inside of the chamber and has beveled edges to seal with:

A standard plug seals with a copper washer and can vary in length. Depending on the plug/engine, it may not sit flush with the inside the the chamber. This causes a bit more turbulence inside than a turbo plug, so the burn isn't as consistent:
