Default Your car is misfiring under boost/load. I would recommend replacing the spark plugs ASAP.

And make sure the new plugs are properly gapped. We use NGK BKR6E plugs gapped to .026".

Check with your tuner to see if they recommend something different.

If the misfiring continues, look into faulty coilpacks, ignition amplifiers or injectors.

Intermittent EGT sensor. It may not throw a code, and be bad.

Default Oops... you're right. BKR7E is the (colder) recommended plug. 6E is the stock heat range.

Either will work fine.

I prefer the copper plugs over platinum due to the low cost. They need to be replaced more frequently though.
