Exactly why I wrote this:

xc17pilot is infamous around these parts
new owner question
Read all the post above - what do you guys recommend for a stock 02 996 TT X50?

Bosch FR6 LDC @ 0.032" gap
Denso PK20PR-P8 @.027"

or something else? I have 33k miles so I'm overdue for the spark plug change. Thanks for the help.
