for my application. You couldn't have been more right. These plugs really smooth out the engine even more than the 6E plugs, and once again boost seems to hold a bit more at the top end.

Default plugs are designed to run at a cooler temp so it is possible that they are reducing the knock

potential allowing the car to run more boost.

Default I just did a writup on this local site for my school.

I am planning on transfering it here, but for now here is the link. Pics are at the bottom and referenced throughout the DIY. Let me know if you have questions.
