I have been running OEM plugs (the NGK's) but refuse to pay $105 for a set.
Any recomendations on what to use instead? Looking for a cheaper but equally if not more effective solution.
Also please indicate if necessary what gap they need to be set at, and where to purchase if possible too.
Thanks guys.

walmart plugs.. cost 99C per piece. make sure you get the right heat rage or you might run into
a problem like tom ritt with the electrode breaking off.. gapped to 0.030 or so

Ive read many times that platinums arent that good for our turbo engines....
platinum tips can stay hot and cause detonation.
get copper and change them more often, they arent too hard to get to and chnage.
I use copper NGK (forgot number) and change them every 2-4 oil changes.
I gap them at .032

All my local Autozones and Advance Auto Parts carry them.
I have to go to NAPA to get the BKR7Es though. I go through those like candy. Foul them every 2k miles.
Once I get a FMIC I'll go back to the 6Es. I have seen up to 9 degrees of timing pull with 6Es and my stock SMIC o.O
