... on the 9000 with DI. I have seen a number of posts here where people have fitted them, found they seem to run OK and post some time later that they are having problems with misfires or low boost, etc. Fitting the correct NGKs at the correct gap fixes it and the problem never seems to re-appear. At least, I haven't heard anyone say they switched back to NGK and after a while it's as bad as it was with Bosch Platinum and we're all talking bunkum.
RussJ, they're about £8 or £9 a set at Halfords. They don't do the "-11" (at least I haven't seen them there), but since I change my plugs every 12K miles, the gap never wears to the point where I end up bending the earth electrode out of parallel with the centre electrode to obtain the correct gap.
Also see Dr. Boost's recommendation for plug gap and Tapani's and my positive results with it in Tapani's post below.
