Another BKR7E user. Never had any problems with them.
Pros: no problems
Part number: BKR7E
I too run these on my stage 2 1.8t gapped at .028 and replace them every 10K miles. So far so good.
Pros: so far so good
Part number: BKR7E
I've run BKR7Es for years with zero issues. I've tried other plugs and I always go back.
Pros: zero issues, always go back
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: BKR7E
Plus they are nice BKR7EIX's (NGK Iridium 1-Step Colder than OEM) and barely have 5000-6000 miles on them, and are gapped to the recommended 0.28 of the APR tune, so there shouldnt be issues, right? As it turns out, my engine cares, A LOT.
Pros: Iridium, 1-step colder
Cons: engine cares a lot
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 6000 km
Part number: BKR7EIX
After I was done installing the new plugs and coils, I started the car and immediately noticed how much smoother the idle was. I then went for a drive and was really impressed by how much smoother and consistent the power delivery was overall, not to mention the graciously absent misfire under load.
Pros: smoother idle, consistent power delivery, no misfire
Vehicle:
Audi A3
Mileage: 75871 km
Did this last night without any issues. The coils were in there tight but a warm engine and some tough talking got them out. I went with NGK Iridiums and the car seems to drive smoother - other than that, all is good at 60K.
Pros: car drives smoother
Mileage: 96560 km
Ngk Platinum all day
Just swapped out some pretty old looking OEM bosch plugs that were gapped at .045 for some reason. Put in PFR6Q at .032\". Didnt notice much of a change.
Cons: no noticeable change
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B6
Part number: PFR6Q
Plugs I use Platinum plugs on my tuned 1.8t .I tried using bk7re's 3 or 4 times and each time the car ran like crap. I gapped at 028,tried 030 .The engine made less power up top every time by a difference of 2/3 psi.
Pros: hold boost exceptionally well
Cons: engine made less power
