New plugs after chipping

[npb]

So I've been told new plugs would help after chipping...

NGK BKR6E or NGK BKR7E ?

Are these plugs single, double or quad. diode?

If they are single, then they have to be gapped, correct?
-What gap should be used?

How much do they have to be torqued?



thanks

I use BKR6E....7E is a colder plug. Gap it at .32

Exactly right. You don't need to colder plug on a stock turbo.

I am running BKR7E's with my K04. When I was running the stock K03 with GIAC software I used BKR6E's.

Gapped at 0.032"

The plugs are simple and cheap, with a 'V' channel. Tighten by hand, then turn 180 - 240 degrees with a socket (usually 180 is fine).

Change them every 5000 miles.

is there really a difference when changing your plugs after chipping a K03? i hear it's psychological.

I changed mine to the 7E's after I got the GIAC chip. Stock turbo, ordered the wrong ones but didnt seem to have any problems. I noticed idle got smoother and Ive been getting great gas mileage. No clue if its all related but if I hear one person say I drive like an old man to get good gas mileage.....ljsahdfljashdflasjhfd!!!!!

is the gapping different for the B6? i hear B5 chipped cars are good to go running on a .28 gap...

I've had better results on my BKR6E with a .027 gap, i.e. OEM gap.
