did you gap them correctly before you put them in (for the k04)? Denso are good plugs in general (the iridium and platinum not always a good choice for the 1.8t though)

well i just found out today that they r supposed to be gapped at .028 not .038 like alot of people say. ive also heard that the irdium plugs have to small of a tip so when under boost it 'blows' spark out causing misfire
