Official Subaru gap is 0.8mm

However, if running more than std boost, anything from 0.6 - 0.7mm seems to keep a good spark i.e. the boost won't blow it out.

A lot of people seem to settle on 0.65mm these days...

No good at all had so many issues with them last winter, car refused to start and would flood the plugs. Andy F advised unless doing top speed runs 7Bs are fine.

7Bs will be fine at that power lol I ran them at over 2bar in the region of 520bhp with no issue

Yeah, NGK PFR7B's are commonly used - they work!
