Default Yeah don't mess with the wrong plugs, amazing the difference in performance with the right ones

I'm tell'in ya goto ECS tuning or 034 and get the right spec then get them for cheaper elsewhere if you want to but at least you will know the right stuff by just entering your car model, engine and year. They also will sell you the right stuff without braindamage.
I had the wrong plugs and could not make over 1.2 BAR of boost without severe missing. Now I overboost but like I said getting the right stuff usually uncovers other issues when you first start out tuning.

Default I swear by the NGK BPR7ES. The cars seem to love them.

You can run them on an unmodded car as well... but crank the boost and they are a great match.. well... up to 19 PSI at least! :-)

Thanks. No if only W7DTC's weren't getting so hard to find.
