And where do you plan to use the 8mm wires?

 

I know NGK is a hotter burning plug.
I think i'll stick to my known NGK's
What brand plug wires do you guys like?
I was kinding of just Napa brand unless someone knows of a better wire.

 

Lol, good call. Forgot it was direct ignition. I read the writeup on making your own wires awhile back and have been wanting to try it since.

I'll put on my dumbass hat for the day.

Ah, well. Wonder if theres any options for boot instert upgrades on the TT. I had some beryllium spark springs on my old J...

 

The 1.8T doesn't use "Plug wires" unless you have an aftermarket external coilpack. The coilpacks fit over the top of the spark plugs directly on the top of the head.

 

Ahhh interesting i didn't know that. awesome idea though.
I have done almsot no tinkering yet with this car as you can tell.

 

Doing mine on Thursday - got a new set of Hitachi coil packs from ECS Tuning - my baby's a misfiring unhappy camper for3 weeks now - just before Christmas. Took it to a stealership last Monday and they wanted $350 to replace them - with no new plugs! Had it for a week and did nothing - I sent a truck to retrieve her and paid the $85 for diagnosing the problem - though XCLR8TT told me that the week before - thanks, Steve, I'm a dumbass [sm=loser.gif]

Got the packs w/bolts and heat shield with 2 day shipping for $200. Now I just need plugs!

 

Got mine today, just how I like it, zero balance.

NGK stock #6418





Big thanks to sparkplugs.com for setting it up.

 

That's awesome! Way to win some plugs! Make sure you let us how they work!

 

they make colder plugs. stock replacements are bkr6e'sbut if chipped it helps to get the 7's instead of 6's.
