What are you talking about? The "stock" plugs for 13B and 12A are NGK BR8EQ14 with four side wires. How is that "shrouded" in comparison with the BUR plugs which fire down inside a cavity and cost an arm and a leg? The BEST performance is achieved with plugs that have a SINGLE side wire, but they don't last long enough for the average street driver. I'll get off my soapbox now...

I thought they were the same plugs in the 12A and 13B OE. I just bought four new ones from the parts supplier, and when he asked me what motor I had I told him, then he said never mind they are the same plug.

I use the shrouded platinum plug (for turbo's) and find they last a lot longer than the stock plug.
