Default gapping HT0 plugs

Talk to JDM today and they said my HT0 plugs should be gaped to 30 and they come gaped to 45. I didnt think these plugs could be gaped since they have a complete "bridge" across instead of just a single free bar. Do I need to gap these? If so, how do I do it?

Yes, you want to close the gap from the factory specs. How must boost are you running? .030 is fine if you are running 10+psi. Our car makes around 9-9.5psi and is gapped at .036.
