Default Changed my plugs today

ive had a set of pfr7b`s in for about 20k now
running high boost

car started feeling a bit crappy and i had a kinda intermittent missfire when it was coolish so i figured i would change them

removed the old ones and found that they had been gaped to 0.95mm

searched threads reveald that it should be about 0.7mm
now it was revolution that fitted them when i had my cambelt service done, any idea why the gap would be this wide??

they look very slightly "rich" as well which is nice considering its running 1.35 bar peak

car seams to idle and drive around much smoother now so they were ovb past it (read sum threads that suggest they are past it after 7k miles )
