Default OEM NGK's.....good durability....>>>
TT does not do well with what i refer to as "fad plugs"....

Personally i use Denso's...but they require you to regap every 10k and to replace at about 25k...

Default Most folks run the OEM stuff
NGK Platinum - PFR6Q - .032 gap

The rule goes that for every 50 HP you should go 1 range colder. In which case folks run:

Denso Iridium - IK22 .028 gap

A while ago I saw a test where the NGK Iridium IX
was a solid plug. Not much use of it on this forum.

The above applies for the 1.8T engines.

Default Check this out from the UK
BKR6E1X is the NGK Iridium IX. Same heat range as the stock PFR6Q. A performance plug according to NGK.

Seems to fit somewhere between the OEM NGK and the Denso Iridium IK22. May be worth a try.

I also heard good things about the Bosh Platin...

Once I put the high flow cats and the IC, I will give the BKR6E1X a go.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tt-forum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=113973&amp;start=0">http://www.tt-forum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=113973&amp;start=0</a</li></ul>
