Spark plug NGK or Autolite
I just bought my old APR S3+ '03 Jetta back. It's been running these for 12 years. I seem to be fine w/ my AEBs and my BKR7e plugs.
Im stage 2+ running a .028 if i run any larger of a gap I get these weird misfires under wide open throttle. Kinda feels like the clutch slipping but its not.
I've always used NGK in my hondas and never had any problems. They're OEM equipment on most (if not all) imports so I would recommend you just stick with what works.
As for the BKR7E's. It's proven that .028 gap is what you want with a stage 1 or 2 setup, and 0.032 for stock. No need to experiment. I've used these plugs on both factory coils and my current setup (OEM Bosch B7 2.0T coils) with no issues.
i put another set of bkr7e's but with 0.80mm gap, the car is running a lot better now.
I installed the BKR7E gapped to .028 with no issues. My vehicles seem to favor NGK more than Denso.
Another BKR7E user. Never had any problems with them.
Not sure what exactly your setup is/how well you have tuned for it, but on BKR7EIX plugs @ .028 and 25psi, I was encountering some spark blowout. Basically felt like the car dropped 2 cylinders, and my exhaust had muffled misfire sounds that basically sounded like a very fast skipping CD of fart noises lol.
I'm Stage 2+ with r8 coil packs and ngk BKR7EIX and still get misfires. I'm not happy about it and I'm not sure what to do.
Autolite made the only plug I've ever had that was dead when brand new.
