isn't one step colder enough?

what boost levels you should stick with if you are using OEM heat range spark plugs?

I use OE NKG plugs for the VW 1.8t not really sure the specs off the top of my head but it's a damn good plug.

the other option is Pulstar plugs, they are the top line if you want to $25. they have been tested getting 11ph.

It depends on how much power over stock you are running. I would not recommend running the stock plugs of an NA motor with boost at all. Go at least one range colder for boosting an NA motor.
