For those running Nology Wires, due pulse star spark plugs use similar technology?

Yes I have, I'd probably due a Brembo upgrade before doing an A8 upgrade though.
i was wondering about the plugs though. I realize they're probably another scam but I still want to know.

There's really nothing in the same price range as the A8 upgrade...
It only requires replacing the rotors and carriers, and uses stock calipers. You'd spend much more on aftermarket brakes.
As for spark plugs, I recommend OEM NGK's. Haven't heard of "pulse star" plugs.

I don't think they are a scam, just unheard of at the moment. I came across
literature on them a couple of months back and inquired about them but nobody knew anything about them as well. I think they have a pretty expensive price tag ($25 a plug)so it will be a while b4 they become more widely known or popular. Anyways the theory behind them would lead to a more efficient combustion process with the possibility of increased perforamance. As far as how they react in a 12 valve engine, still untested (would you like to be the first).

Yes they do.
I have the DirectHits modular capacitors in my 12V and I will never run without them. DirectHits is just a modular, earlier version of the Pulstar plugs. Nology, although I have never actually had one in my hands, supposedly uses the same capacitor system but incorporates them into the wire.
The reason I like the DirectHits system is because it is modular. When the plug or the wires degrade and wear, you replace only what is worn. I have had the DirectHits capacitors for years now, except for one that burned out on me about 2 years ago. I had the capacitor replaced no questions asked under warranty. I make my own wires from MSD Super Conductor ignition cable, and I run resistorless plugs. The capacitance chokes the RF interference and I have no problems whatsoever.
