[Biturbos4] Spark Plug Gap?

[Wilson Northrup]

OK, so there is less resistance in that plug as compared to the stock one. 
While that seems like a good thing, i guess some had problems with that 
(SFTA on Audiworld to see). You'll want to have someone scan your car, 
look for misfires if nothing else.  Some seemed to have problems with 
that.  Since those plugs will have a shorter life, you'll want to rescan 
them at some point later as well and see how things are going.

You can probably get misfire data out of several OBDII scanners, not just 
VAG-COM.  Most any local shop or friend with a decent scanner should be 
able to help you there.

BTW, If you continue to search audiworld, you'll see that for a stock 
motor, there is a strong recomondation to stay with the stock plug.  I'm 
no plug expert... I'd like to know more about plugs :)
