Spark plug NGK or BRISK
Pick up some genuine Audi R8 Red-Top coils (not kidding, much lower failure rate) and some fresh NGK Iridium spark plugs.
I had this very same problem where on my 07 V6 the acceleration and power was off. I had replaced my spark plugs with NGK Iridium plugs and after dealing with the horrible performance I decided to change them out for OEM platinum (copper) plugs. This made a huge difference and could immediately tell a night and day difference. Regained the torque and power that was missing.
I've run the NGK ruthenium in my sierra with the 6.2 and they ran great but I notice they aren't the right gap.
You use a **NGK BR2LM.**
I’ve been running NGK Ruthenium for a year now with 0 problems. Supposedly they last longer and are more stable with less dispersion according to NGK. Going to stick with them instead of Iridium or Platinum.
I have ngk spark plugs and I went with z1 high ignition coils
if you don't want to pay for VW boxes, NGK ruethiums are a killer deal on rock auto, I've run 2 sets through out alltrack without a hiccup, about 60K total.
I have the ruthenium. Bought pregapped from Mountune. They are fine. They work no noticable change. I've put about 200k miles on them between by ST and RS and changed every 50k miles with no issues (both tuned and stock).
Additionally I would endorse the use of a Champion or NGK plug. The LG/Torch/random Chinese plugs are a crap shoot. I see tons of failures on them as well.
I’ve gotten fake NGK on Amazon before it’s very possible
