Default The Pulstar plug

Does anyone have any experience with this Sparkplug?

http://www.pulstarplug.com/

Pros (improves HP and MPG)?
Cons ($24.95 each)?

I'm thinking about installing these in my 08 A4 2.0t.

I found this FAQ question quite humurous on their website:

Q: Will the installation of Pulstarâ„¢ affect the warranty on my car?
A: No. The 1975 Magnuson Moss Act prevents a manufacturer from voiding a warranty based on a customer's selection of parts that the dealer does not offer.


Thoughts?

The Service Tech I spoke with at my local Audi dealership said that "Turbos / 2.0t" do not do well with these plugs, however he said the 3.2 6 cylinder would be okay.

I've been seeing ads for these in Motor Trend and othe mags. It looks interesting, but I'm a skeptic because a more complicated plug could mean more room for failure.

Not sure about that Magnuson Moss act. Any one line interpretation/summary of something like that should be scrutinized...haha.
Think of all the parts dealers don't offer...just because it fits in your car doesn't mean its good for it.

That being said, I still want to know more about these.

well essentially the MMA protects you from a dealership saying that you voided your cars warranty b/c you put rims on your car....now if you broke a caliper installing the wheels then as a result you voided the part of the warranty that prtects your brakes but if you put on the wheels and your engine seizes, they b/c of the MMA, have to replace your engine becuase the mod was not a direct cause of the problem
