Title: Spark Plugs for a Remapped Car
Post by: mikec on July 12, 2015, 01:03:43 pm

Hi all,

Just wondering which spark plugs are best for a stage 1 remapped GTi?  Read a bit about going a stage colder when remapped.

Getting my coilpacks done Wednesday and going to change the plugs too.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply.

Eurocarparts are bringing up the NGK-PFR7S8EG-1675. 

Are these the ones I need to go for?

Standard 7s are the best choice. 8s run too cold and foul unless doing lots of hard accelerating. Stick with the 7s

I sent Awesome a message asking the same thing and they said just go for OE plugs.  Only go colder if you have a highly tuned car, stage 3 onwards.

Does anyone have a link to OE NGK plugs?  Im not using Bosch lol.

Who did the mapping? Talk to them.
AFAIK stock is fine.

Just bought a set of them cheers.

Any ideas what they should be gapped at? These haven't been gapped specifically for my Golf.
