I had Pulstar on my 545i before. Honestly they only will give the car a better fuel mileage but hp gains I don't know (I didn't feel any gains maybe a minimal but not noticeable on V8) but when I replaced them with BOSCH IR Fusion, big difference and there are feelings about HP/Torque gains but of course I tested the OEM ones (NGK) after the IR Fusion to compare. The IR Fusion is the hands down!!. In summary if you want to save fuel Pulstar is the best choice and for power get Bosch IR Fusion. That is my IMO obviously.
In next month my car needs new spark plugs so I will try with NGK Iridium and new BRISK (with LSG Technology, http://www.briskusa.com/products.htm#premium)

I believe I have posted about this months ago (I tried to find it in the search and no luck).

Pingu, please do it and tell us maybe L6 is different.
seems a lot of people are v happy with IR fusion. I was skeptical at first when I saw brisk's claim on multiple sparks but the sparks produced as shown in their video is quite amazing.

these are very good but dont last long.
what I what is to save fuel and last much longer than oem to save the planet
also it not the power that I what. it is more mpg.
If BMWHK will ship D car into HK then I dont need to mod the car to get more mpg out of it

As a background, I have the Japanese made Splitfire Direct Ignition System installed and previously I had the Okada Direct installed as well.

Just a pointer: after my experience with both of the direct ignition coils system, really they are almost the same thing if you ask me, it is only that I prefer the Splitfire version. And for all those who argue that this product is a complete useless mod, then I dare you to challenge me on the road for a simple 0-100 km/h pickup with the same config

Anyway, I guess after the amplifying effect of the direct ignition coils, the addition of the Pulstar Pulse Plugs really cannot give me a further and obvious boost to the 0-100 km/h pick up. And regarding the fuel comsumption, I guess this result would have to wait until I got them on for maybe a few tanks of fuel; right now I am still very much into the agressive pickup, that, is really no help for me to observe if the fuel comsumption is ever saved

End of report... Capt. pinguhk, here is the report I promised

I just realise I never quite finished my report with the Splitfire, well, my e60 was doing 4.5km/L, after Splitfire, she is doing easily 5.0km/L(full blast most of the time) to 7.0km/L(already with occasional full blast)... looks like it is worth every penny... however, I won't be able to enjoy it further, since I sold my E60 already *sob*

I think bascially it increases the spark fire compared to the stock,
so it will burn fuel more efficiently and hence for the power gains
