I wouls steer well clear. I had a set of super 4s (WR78, I think) in my standard 998 and they lasted about 3000km. They produced a weird problem of breaking down under load but only when all 4 were connected. I unplugged one to check mixture with colourtune as I thought my fuelling was out and the problem would disappear.

I can really recommend the NGK iridium plugs, used to use them in my nissan, so tried them in the mini, have been very good so far, much better than the standard jobs.

I am using the BPR 8EIX plugs, the are great and have a recessed electrode, that minimizes the hot spot that a normal plug usually creates (which could cause detonation).

BPR 6EIX BPR 7EIX Are what you need, depending on what grade you want. Not cheap mind. I use the same... wickedly thin electrode.. would hurt if you stabbed someone in the eye with it. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

I also use the NGK iridium plugs in my 205 turbo, and also the DON.

Not tried the iridium plugs but managed to gain 10 BHp on VMax's RR by changing from NGK BCR8ES to BCR7ES.
Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

I tried them about 10 years ago in my Metty Turbo, I can't remember what they were like but I didn't buy a second set. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

I remember a good few years ago when the bosch supre 4s came out. There seemed to be a raft of fancy plugs on the market so a magazine (can't remember which one) got a bog standard Astra GTE and did a back to back power run with about 10 different plugs all claiming improved power, efficiency, life, etc. The outcome was that the standard plugs the car came with, NGK Rs, got the best power. Some matched the original power, most were worse and all were at least twice the price. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk
