Yea you might want to get some ngk bkr6e's and gap them to .020. With out the new gap you will likely ruin the coilpacks.

.028 like above. There isnt really a need to run a colder plug unless you are pushing the stock turbo. I have ran stock heat range for over a year with 20psi.

The people running them to 25psi, w/m inj, and every bolt on. Chip and exhuast is fine for stock heat range.
