The higher the tune the smaller the gap to prevent pre ignition.

Pre gapped at just over 0.8mm you can reduce to 0.7mm for a stage 2

Hope this helps.

Enjoyed the last five years of ownership of Mk5 & 6 GTIs.
Plus an excellent forum for knowledge and new ways to deplete the bank account.
Thank You Everyone.

Pre igniton is caused by the wrong grade, if you have this you need a colder plug i.e. an 8, if the gap is too big the boost just blows it out also causing a missfire. ime.
