Congrats on getting a K04. I use Bosch Platin F5DP0R plugs with my setup. No problems.

Default Eh, if I remember correctly, take whichever the stock one is and subtract '1'

So if stock is BKR7E then use BKR6E. I made a post about a year ago about it and diagnosticator1 explained it to me. Essentially the lower the heat range number (7 or 6, etc), the more hp its designed for. So you want to use something with a lower number than stock. I hope that explained it, but if not, stfa for my post, as diagnosticator1 does a far better job explaining it than I can

Haven't gotten it just YET, but it looks like a done deal.

Ok I'll check, I thought you had to run a cooler plug with the added HP.

Default I believe it is the colder one. This is what Hoppen recommended to use with the MTM kit anyway.

They last a long time (don't have to change them every 5K) but they're like $15 each.

Do a search here, B5 A4 forum and AZ for F5DP0R plugs for more info.
