After all the discussion around the 7's/8's and the difference in results with the different gaps, will the set of BKR8EIX's that I bought be setup correctly out the box for my completely engine standard k03 GTI on a 2006 plate?
Thanks.

Only when pushing the envelope you have to gap them to 0,6. I got the info from VrsAlex and it worked for me as i had some slight missfires in mine even with these plugs fitted :smiley:

What's pushing the envelope mean Jake? :scared:
You're a k04 and running several engine mods aren't you, so I'm unlikely to need to change them for my factory setup, right?

I'm trying to max out the K04 on the Cupra engine with what mods i can get my hands on, you should be fine, just using these over the 7 helps a great deal :happy2:

On a standard, a stage 1 car or if you only do short miles then I would stick with the 7's. The 8's are just too cold and this was evident when I removed them from my car. The 7's have since been burning perfectly.

Enough with the pictures Robin.

I may be wrong but all this "specific" spark plug nonsense is exactly that.
Im guessing a lot of folk have bought these, when actually a set of OEM plugs would have been absolutely fine.

....I have my spark plugs changed every 20k miles (K03 Revo Stage 2) and have in the past used OEM plugs but this time asked Jim at JKM what he recommended. He said that OEM Platinum would be fine but Iridium would be better, explaining the differences, also with Copper as discussed earlier. It wasn't a question of whether a colder plug or not unless a more modified car. I tend to take his advice, hence Iridium heavenly 7.
