So i ran bkr7e plugs for the dyno and driven 100miles since.. i didnt like them to much
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/54666/bkr7e_after_100miles.jpg"></center><p>as they were to cold and caused some misfires (i think) when the engine was cold. swapped them out today for 6's that i got locally for 2.15$ piece. i havent taken the car out yet since the weather is nice and i did all my errants on 2 wheels. but im pretty sure that there will be a nice improvement over the 7's

my 7's were fouled, completely black and soaked when I took them off.
The 6's lasted me for months and when I took them out they looked liked they would have lasted me even longer. I should have not trashed them when I put the 7's on. You have to get those 7's to temp or they will foul.

1800-haul-***. nah, I didn't have a problem after I had the car tuned right...
I don't know what I did beside make sure my vac lines were good, moved the boost gauge to the bpv, put the whatchamacallit (bpv) valve in loop, and changed the oil months back. I had lost all misfires and the car ran a little rich but good. I also played musical coil packs and checked the plugs for a piece of mind. I had them at .032, might go to .030 with the next set. In the mornings I would just start it and go smoothly until the engine warmed up.

ive been running bkr6e for past 3 oil changes. gonna try Beru Ultra X next time.
my 6s tend to foul right at or before 5k, not very much life out of them.
plus the hassle of gapping them to .028 everytime.
only thing is that there are 2 Beru Ultra X plugs that they say will work for our car, don't know which one to try. UXF.56, and UXF.79
I think i will go with the 79s???

not with the 6's, just slight misfires every now and then. the 7's blew black soot
all over my garage door and killed my car. I had to put the only plugs I had on hand in, stock. I think that those has caused some predetonation this past weekend so I'll have to change those.
