Gap them to 0.028 and buy NGK BKR5EKUP platinum (change around 40,000miles) or BKR5EKU for the coppers (change around 15,000 to 20,000miles), don't use any other plugs they aren't as good!
I'm using the ngk 7's in my turbo 2.0...no problems..
For real, on my 2.0T I run NGK 7E's, 2 steps colder gapped .031\"
They run real well on my ABA.
OEM plugs are NGK... they are the only ones that actually work. you can use copper over the platinums to save a few $$, but you'll be changing them more often. as for wires, the same, use OEM, I am and I have been running a stg III s/c kit...colder, but still NGKs, and BERU wires.
today I installed a NGK BK7RE to my jetta, and it feels great. I like them a lot, considdering I haven't change my stock sparks .
Spark Plugs (NGK) 7 heat range - OEM Honda Timing Belt, water Pump, oil pump, headgasket, and engine gasket set - Fuel filter - Valve Adjustment done by acura cost $175
the BKr7e's NEED to be switched out with every oil change (IMO).. The new plugs feel great and look great on vag logs (less timing pull than seasoned plugs)
I went to the dyno today and ended up with some pretty good #'s 321HP 304TQ Car was ran on SPS3 settings boost 9 timing 9 with Sunoco gt100 fuel. Temperature was mid 70's My car: 2003 A4 1.8t quattro ATP/Revo GTRS ATP Manifold Ecode Front Mount Intercooler Ecode Test Pipe Neuspeed Xtreme Turbo intake pipe Neuspeed Exhaust Stock airbox with K&N panel filter stock N75 valve working And NGK BKR7E plugs South Bend OFE SS clutch I could have done better if I had the right plugs (Bosch 3 electrode) and a manual boost controller but im pretty happy overall. Also the car was pulling 0 correction factors all the way through the rpm range so Lemmiwinks could have helped me with some more timing.
Cooler plugs (NGK BP7ES) gapped first to .028, then to .025 have changed NOTHING.
