Stock plugs on Ess m3?
What brand are you guys tuning on Ess m3? Ess told me to use stock but I seem to have power issues, like the rpm struggles on 6 to 7 K rpm. I have stock spark plugs( newly installed when I got the supercharger) could the issue be my spark plugs or my old coil packs.

Check your old post. I told you on post #3 what fixed mine. Can't keep on asking the same questions if you didn't make a change.

Using non-OEM plugs will only add more variables. Stick with stock plugs.

I just put it on 4K miles ago, so I guess I would just do the coils first then, will the bad coils lean to damage on the new spark plugs?

Shouldn't, but weak coils will typically fail under load/high RPM. A dyno would be able to point this out right away.

I would think you would be safe keeping the same plugs in there and run new coils.
Do yourself a favor and do it and report back how the car runs after that. |

Yes, if I use manual, I feel the power right away, if it auto down shifts, it will have lag about 1 sec, the rpm still revs up and the car still accs just feel like no full power

Dyno looks good, healthy numbers.
