Any one know the plug gap for the spark plugs?
Thanks

Would you recommend the colder one though? rate 7 instead of 6 for the NGK in the 2013 turbo?OEM spark plugs are cheap. Stay stock.
Unless your engine is pinging, there is no reason to go to colder plugs. Plug temperature is how much heat the plug retains. Warmer plugs retain heat while colder plugs send combustion heat into the coolant quicker. Heat on a plug is a good thing. It burns away the deposits on the tip so it doesn't foul. You actually want to run the hottest plug that doesn't cause pre-ignition. The commonly believed advice is to go one step colder for every increase of 75-100 hp. Is your engine making 75-100 hp more than stock? If not, then there is no reason to go to a colder plug.Would you recommend the colder one though? rate 7 instead of 6 for the NGK in the 2013 turbo?
That's what I did, I'm staying on stock. I'm still interested what Hyundai did to this same engine to have the 2015 and up versions using a colder plug.Unless your engine is pinging, there is no reason to go to colder plugs.

I have just installed my second set of Denso Iridium plugs on my 2016 Veloster turbo. Pre-gapped .07mm or .32... Work perfectly fine. Takes 10 mins to change. Good luckAny one know the plug gap for the spark plugs?

been running .32 for 50k miles not a single misfire or issue.028 is the correct gap for turbo .
