Over the last 16 years with my 8 gas engine VWs and Audis, the OEM or OEM equivalent (Bosch or NGK) at stock gap (unless chipped) have performed better and more consistent than any other I've tried.
The NGK's have been a solid go to for me and my little Pocket Ferrari for every day driving.
NGK run good for me
I changed all sparkplugs now my vw is running great. make it's the correct sparkplugs.
I’m 90% sure my EGTs came with Bosch plugs, switch to NGK that are 2 steps colder for my tune haven’t had any issues with them for about 25k miles
OE plugs for this engine is NGK Laser Iridium. Hyundai/Kia usually use either Denso or NGK plugs.
I'd get OEM wires and NGK iridium OEM speck plugs.
Went with the fancy ngk plugs. A man of culture. I put those in my Volvo and they say it's heresy.
NGK literally welded a platinum bar to the ground electrode. Is it going to be really butt dyno noticeable? Probably not. But at least it should last at least twice as long as the BKR7E-IX, since I've noticed after 20,000 miles, my mpg goes to crap. The projected square platinum electrode means wear resistance on the ground electrode, like the factory laser platinum spark plugs (PFR7S8EG) having a platinum wear disc on the ground electrode.
I also just put in a set of NGK BKR7E's and gapped them a little large (.034) seeing as the ones I pulled out were at .043 That did nothing and the issue is still persistent.
