When I use the part finder on the NGK website they don't list one for the GTI but they do show one for the Audi A3 Quattro.

I guess the NGK website isn't up to date. How do those compare to the 1 step colder NGK plugs and the price? Who sells them?

I run them. They work. That's all that matters IMO. I bought them straight from NGK and got a free tshirt
I think Denso sucks and see several people have issues with the RS7 plugs so I vote run neither.

I agree the Denso plugs suck. Next time I replace plugs I'll get those. At how many miles are you changing them? I've been changing mine every 25,000 miles.

That's what I did with the Denso plugs and that's when I found out those were crap.

Pretty sure the NGK Rutheniums are the same heat level as stock, so maybe not great for bigger turbos & higher boost?
I tried the Densos and they were too cold for just a stg2 IS20, I just looked at their color after 4000 miles and threw them out.

Except....they are great.
..then perhaps going colder in heat range is not something anyone should worry about..?
I thought every tuner was calling for colder plugs, but I know for sure the Densos were TOO COLD for me.
..or it was cause I don't keep the engine at the red line

What is the heat range for the stock plugs? I thought it was 8 and the Ruthenium plugs are 7.
