do youself a favor, buy either audi oem or ngk r pre gapped plugs...if you try to gap a platinum plug youself you will crack the platinum coating

Yeah...sorry I didn't realize spark plug can be pre-gapped. I bought something ungapped. So....any chance I can gap the spark plugs myself? Thanks.

if you bought a plug that needs gapped then it is proll just a junk plug...trust me, you are running a turbocharged engine...that last thing you want is for a junk plug to cause you more headaches then it is worth...take those back and buy some ngk r's

I am sorry this might sound very a very stupid question: You mean NGK racing spark plug by NGK r's? Thanks. I am really new to AUDI
