Spark plug NGK or OEM Subaru
Just installed some NGK's over the weekend. Definitely idles smoother and quieter. Also feels a bit more responsive to throttle input. Even my wife commented that it felt different and better, which is a miracle. Great $35 mod.
I just took your guys advice and installed the NGK BKR7EIX plugs on my VW GTI 2.0T and I can feel a big difference as far as smooth acceleration and more response! I would defenitely reccomend these plugs to anyone with mods or a chip on their 2.0T!
Seeing how the dealer's prices are always higher, I'll be replacing the stock plugs with a set of the NGK's. Ive always run them in my 1.8T, and now my 2.0L 16v... and again... will be picking up some for the 2.0T FSI.
i had bosch and just switched to NGK BKR7EIX. theres a difference!!!
I am planning on ordering a set of NGK BKR7EIX. They are one heat range colder, and I keep hearing good reviews. I also hear the downside is you have to replace them more often. I think if you search for them, you'll find better reviews from ppl who use them and diy if needed. I found them here http://www.sparkplugs.com/resu...&y=17 , might be cheaper elsewhere, I haven't started shopping yet, im just coming up on 10,000 miles.
My mkV GTI came with Bosch plugs stock. I am now using a set of NGK BKR7EIX plugs (which by the way come pre-gapped...)
I run BKR8EIX gapped at 0.028 with great success as my regular plug.
bkr7e for pump gas.
Dave is right, I checked mine out of the box with wire guage. .030" the same as stock ones I removed. From the box to the car no adjustment, no misfires, runs great.
BP7ES gapped at .025 aren't doing it.
