I think that at this point, Schumy needs to go read this: http://www.vehicular.isy.liu.se/~larer/Projects/main.html ...particularly the sections on combustion chamber ionization current measurements, which are done with the NGK plug as a calibrated measuring instrument. > :: I'm sure the NGK's are great - but try the Plus Fours. > Okay, let's hear you say that again, when you need a new DI-cassette. I really think that marketing has overcome logic in this case. The injection and management system was designed for the NGK's. As Henrik mentions, you may be endangering your hardware, to respond to a marketing campaign. There's a reason the whole car is full of Bosch electronics and Saab still uses NGK plugs, after all...
