Hi Kenny,

Easy...

And cheap ...

NGK BKR7E (Race plug, one range colder)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NGK-SPARK-PLUGS-B ... 240%3A1318

Gapped slightly tighter to .028

And i've run a set of these for more than 12 months without problem... bloody perfect... copper core rules...

cool ordered some of them beasts! are they platinum change em at 20000??

[more-bhp]

Not platinum... copper..... copper is good for performance but not so long lasting.... for the price though that doesnt matter...

Does anyone know the gap on the bosch ones that we have just now.

iv got awesome to use an uprated bosch plug in mine on its service last week, and all seems good so far

[KennyPOLO_Gti]

I read that you need these ones (one grade cooler) when you tune your car and the heat is going to increase but is this still the case when you get the FMIC on.

I think the most important thing is to have good make plugs in good condition... then there isnt problems..

All too often plugs dont get changed or checked/gapped and then problems start...

Bout time I got some more for myself...

[Jeff GTi]

having all the extra cooling going on it the car the temps should not be so much of an issue

awesome swore blind these bosch ones were better than standard and very much up to the job

[KennyPOLO_Gti]

Ordered some tonight so hopefully get them by the weekend.

fit mine today must say im quite concered though as my old plugs were white/red indicating lean mixture! i was thinking could it be to the increase in air due to the intercooler? as i know the ecu can only adjust fueling to a certain degree??!! i am scared to boot it now till its checked out!!

[Jeff GTi]

could be due to having such an agressive map, it needs the extra fuel to fullfil what its being asked to do

whitegtipolo - you still running with the diode mod ????

nope been out for say 4 or 5 months ran s**t! also if i boot it in second up to 6500rpm and quick to 3rd it pops and runs only 5-8psi till i let off and back on?? not all the time though! did it tonight??

[KennyPOLO_Gti]

Sorry to bring it up again, but do you not think it makes any difference putting in a grade cooler spark plug even tho your temps are probably less than when the car was totally stock???
