    Thank you Czar for this complete explanation.

    I would like to ask for you opinion on the LKR8AP spark plug for my specific use.
    I own a DS3 and I live in Brazil, which make my situation a little bit different. First, the temperatue is usually higher and I found out the THP is very sensitive to heat and the power loss is very perceptible when the weather is hot.
    Other specificity is the fact that we have (by law), 27% of ethanol in the gazoline. The THP is "tropicalized", adapted by PSA to the local fuel and the European THP155 is here a THP165 (2012-2015).

    My DS3 is chipped, has Green Peugeot Sport Filter, DV+, TriDan treatment and shown 198,2 hp / 35,9 kgfm on dyno.

    For these reasons, I think LKR8AP could be a good choice for me, even if my DS3 is not 230hp, as you recommend.

    Do you think I am right, or you advice would apply even in my situation?

    NGK recommended ILZKR8C8G but they are not imported here. Do you know the main functional differences between both?

        Because the Racing has no Mid-Silencer in his exhaust system. And the Racing has a bigger K03 Turbo, which is bigger than the K03 Unit from the normal THP
