Just put new plugs in a week ago, BKR6Es gapped to .032". After that I realized the 23rd was coming, so I sent out my ECU to SpeedTuning. Just got it installed last night (got a bit of other work done as well: airbox, k&n, forge 007, boost gauge, rear fog light mod, diy short shifter), and it's pulling pretty good, as long as I'm not going over 5500 RPMs.

I've read 293709715409 times to narrow the plug gap on a chipped car, but I was curious if that was my 5500 RPM issue?

 

you need to gap them to .028. That is your plugs getting blown out at 5500rpms.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

 

cincy? should i run this gap on my b6 as well....my ecu if off in a fedex box somehwere. just curious when i get it back what gap i need

 

recommendation for plugs are welcomed as well. how do i know what gap they are? is it in the model of plug. please help

 

All 1.8ts should run the same gaps.

I prefer the ngk bkr6's and have used the autolites also, work fine aswell. Just get copper plugs and change them every 15-20k miles.

 

thank you. thank you
