Looks fine to me...

Above is what happens when an electrode breaks off and ruins your custom turbo! Also my plug shows a little discoloration from excess heat around the insulation. Your's looks fine.

Re: what can you tell me about this spark plug
uh....right.
+4's didn't work worth a **** in both my CIS 10v and Hitachi MPI 20v. Fouled both sets in under 8k miles. Switched back to W7DTC's and F6DTC's, and all was well.
Coil-pack cars may be different than my conventional distributor Audi's, but the +4's are not the greatest thing since sliced bread, nor are they the best thing that Bosch has ever come up with.
