Have a look at these mate. There have been some real good things being posted about them. Also have a look on the site with the demo on how the flame front moves http://www.pulstar.com/ignitionvelocity.htm There is some real interesting stuff here. With these in place you could advance the timing quite a bit which would increase BHP and Torq.

To those in the know: Would these be beneficial for my Stage 2 GTI ???

Yes, I am definitely not convinced on this one. At the end of the day detonation is detonation, irrespective of the strength of the spark.

....I found it interesting but not convincing.
The good upgrade plugs are NGK Iridium BKR7EIX. They are one heat range colder. The BKR6EIX are a direct replacemnt. These are highly recommened by alot of people. I use them myself on my stage 3 car.
I have never really understood heat ranges, What does a colder plug mean?
....No they are rebranded Bosch... :smiley:
I've forgotten, but aren't the oem plugs NGK?
they are for use with only the AXX engine - which is the early version.Supposedly the last of the true FSI lean burn engines...
Why only this one I wonder... there was something about the AXX engine which made it the last of a specific type but I cant remember what it was now.
Talking of Spark Plug I was told by a VW Dealer the recommended interval is now 60K for the BYD engine in the ED30 when I asked for the cost for the 40K service while getting Mrs PG car done today. :surprised:
I won't be waiting that long, it really does seam VW are pushing the limits of the parts these days and I wonder if this is to help things like the cost of ownership comparisons ???
....
Steve, I've been advised by several tuners and others whose opinions I respect, that it's good practice to change plugs every 20k miles on a tuned engine. It's not expensive and a wise precaution to help everything run sweet.
:happy2:

Like a few of you i would like to try and see what they do as "proof is in the pudding".

I agree, I had an occasional missfire problem which was down to a dodgy plug after 20k so I would recommend the same - for the sake of what - £40
Hi guys, the pulse plugs wouldnt cause damage as the knock sensor or i should say sensors should be in ultimate control of your timing. There seems to have been a lot written about these plugs and we have even been sent info out on them to allow us to add into ignition courses we run. Like a few of you i would like to try and see what they do as "proof is in the pudding".

You can tell if your running the wrong or right heat grade of plugs by how they are burning. Take them out and compare the non-gloss ceramic and spark tip to a spark plug colour guide.
(I have a guide on my home pc so will post it up tonight)------> http://www.dansmc.com/Spark_Plugs/Spark_Plugs_catalog.html (http://www.dansmc.com/Spark_Plugs/Spark_Plugs_catalog.html) <------
There are also other symptoms to too hot or cold a plug. Too cold a plug can result result in bad start-ups and can result in mis-firing.
Too hot a plug can lead to detonation (det) or pre-ignition issues. (not a good thing)
