Colder Plugs?
I've looked around the forums and I couldn't find my answer. What will the colder spark plugs on Way's site do for me?

He says they are better if you modify your car. What is the benefit? Also they are Platinum, not Iridium. I heard Iridium is better in regards to performance. Is this a good plug or do you guys have another one you can recommend to me. My mods are in my signature. Or is going colder just a waste of money? Lol

the benefit of colder plugs is that they dont retain heat as long (hence the name).....this is desirable because it reduces the chance of predetonation......usually only needed if you are pushing lots of boost on an aftermarket tune.
i see you are running the JB+, assuming you are leaving it in its stock (50%) position, you shouldnt NEED colder plugs......but you arent likely to harm anything by putting them in.

honestly prefer the multi-pronged plug if you go for platinum....
Iridium is Usually a single prong....and since iridium tip is very brittle...care must be taken if gapping them....
Since way says "highly tuned/modified" I am guessing the cooler plugs are not as big of a thing as on the gen1 cars (I am a gen1 guy).

Have you guys seen the plugs made by Pulstar?
The spark is 20,000 times greater than a traditional plug.
What do you think? How do you think the Mini would react?

The colder plug gives you extra protection against pre-detonation. Since you're pushing 18 pounds of boost, it's cheap insurance. If you didn't have a tune just stick with the stock NGK plugs.

You're thinking way to hard about something as simple as a spark plug. No need to start splitting engineering hairs here. You're obviously not some cheapo that is going to gripe about having to spend some extra coin for a plug that will have a slightly shorter life. Look at all you've done to your car!

Eurocode sent me a part number for spark plugs that Manic recommends. They are a step colder. Let me find the number and I'll post it up.
