I just replaced my plugs with the stock NGK N20 plugs on my 228. I've had the BMS Stage 1 tune on my car for 18K miles. I'm currently at 67,077 miles. The photos are oriented left to right is from of the car to rear as far as cylinders go. When I first started it up I had some sputtering. I checked the coil connections and made sure that they were all seated correctly again. Started it again, no issues. That rear plug is a pain in the butt.
Thoughts?

I wanted to post back quickly and halfassed just because I'm so excited. I replaced my stock plugs today with N20 plugs as they are 1 step colder than N55 plugs. I had roughly 25,000 mi on the clock. I will post up picks of the plugs pulled but all looked good. I took the car out shortly after, got it to temp and gave her the beans. Ambient air temp is a cool 56F. Iat's were in the 70's. The car did not want to keep traction at all in 2nd to 3rd gear. The car pulled like a raped Ape.! Couldn't believe the difference. I gapped the plugs at .022. These plugs are performing very well so far. I am very pleased

To add... throttle response felt sharpened... idling and startup was much improved as E85 can be rough around the edges. Also I wanted to take it a little easy. I kept the JB4 in map 1 to test. I can't wait to bump it up to map 2.

I actually had to check all the plugs again and re-gap them to .022 per BMS recommendation for their tunes. Made a big difference. All the things you just mentioned. Took me 10 minutes this time. I took the rear cover off this time. Ha ha.
