Don't use ANYTHING but the NGK plugs in cars with DI. The DI cassette
is depending upon the characteristics of the plug in order to do
certain things.

Personally, I keep Bosch Platinum plugs far away from my Saabs. I had
(years ago) regular Platinum plugs, and the performance was off. NGK
Gold-Palladium electrode plugs (the 'EV' suffix) are vastly superior
in my experience.

Lately, I used Bosch Platinum Plus 4 plugs in my 16v 900t. With them
I experienced high-temperature stalling, and failed restarts while
sitting in traffic. Slipping in a set of old, USED NGK BCP6EV plugs
immediately cured the problem.
