IK24 will be a bit too cold. Who told you to go IK24?

Spark plugs being too hot or too cold can cause problems...bottom line is, one will cause pinging and the other will make it lose power as a result of not hot enough sparks that leads to not enough combustion.

Most tuners recommend using IK22 plugs with a reduction pulley. [IK24 with stock pulley]

NGK Iridiums should last slightly longer than Denso due to larger tip diameter. Both good though.

I recently installed a 15% pulley and since a cooler spark plug is recomended i thought
on puting the same sparks as schnitzer does - BOSCH FR6DTC (3 prong)
On contacting with bosch they told that they dont make that plug anymore and instead they gave me FR6DC+ +13 (1prong) as replacement for the first one.
Has anyone an opinion about this??? should i keep them or try something else?
