I ended up swapping coils/ICM and put new correct plugs in, and now it runs waaaay better.
I have NGK double plat and they have been great. Over 10k miles. Just put some in my girlfriends 2.5 jetta as well with no issues.
Use the NGKs OP uses with factory gap. All stock apart from Stage1 Superchips tune now on 95RON. No issues 'cept consumption's falling now cooler temps are here (46\u00baF yesterday afternoon SE London) from 40+ on lightfoot long run to 36MPG same motorway run
ngk Same as prof315-jeff,bkr7eix on both setups,supercharger and now turbo and they still work,my only mishap is i bought a set bkr8 and one fouled do to much gas @ idle,now with megasquirt no problems so far.
i know of several 2.5T and 2.0T (big turbo) running BKR7EIX gapped at 0.028"... Myself included, and no issues.
I am running those in my car now and they are perfect!!
Personally I prefer NGK and have had excellent results on our customer's cars with NGK. They make a great plug.
On almost all FSI / TSI applications we prefer the NGK, either PFR7S (which is the 'oem' plug on most TSI engines we see) or PFR7Q gapped to .028. We have had bad luck with missfires with the Bosch on tuned cars. Stock seems fine.
new NGK R's (copper) runs better but not 100%
I have the one sided electrode NGKs and it screwd up my mileage. but it seemed to happen once I switched the spark plugs.
