Over the last 16 years with my 8 gas engine VWs and Audis, the OEM or OEM equivalent (Bosch or NGK) at stock gap (unless chipped) have performed better and more consistent than any other I've tried.
Yes, a bad spark plug, incorrect type of spark plug, or a wide spark plug gap can cause a coil to fail. If electrical resistance in the secondary ignition circuit is too high the coil must generate a higher voltage to fire the plug.
The NGK's have been a solid go to for me and my little Pocket Ferrari for every day driving.
NGK run good for me
I’m 90% sure my EGTs came with Bosch plugs, switch to NGK that are 2 steps colder for my tune haven’t had any issues with them for about 25k miles
OE plugs for this engine is NGK Laser Iridium. Hyundai/Kia usually use either Denso or NGK plugs.
I'd get OEM wires and NGK iridium OEM speck plugs.
Went with the fancy ngk plugs. A man of culture. I put those in my Volvo and they say it's heresy.
NGK and Bosch are the same ones as the Genuine BMW ones. The latter are just rebranded and marked up.
Replaced the plugs -- BKR8EIX per the hstuning blog. I'm still getting the misfires...
