I'm running the NGK 8's like Mike has posted above.

Only have them in for 2 days though(300 odd miles), but no issues so far.

Am I the only one in thinking that he should vcds scan/log thew car for misfires as maybe, just maybe,  this isn't a plug issue.

I'm thinking he should definitely be logging the car! After fitting a K04 and injectors and running a K03 map he'd be mad not to.
I put my K04 map on before I even started the car.

Nology Silver plugs gapped adjusted to the application.   I have cured many misfire issues with these on high power TFSI engines.

The Nology plugs are meant to be really good.  Around a tenner a plug iirc.

I have the BKUR7ET plugs in mine.  Teff also runs them in his 'R'.

If you are doing short trips then the 8's dont burn as well as the 7's.

I had one of the Ngk 8's randomly fail on my stage 2+ eddy. Causing multiple missfires, got standard Ngk's in now which I had no problems before changing to these.

Was the plug fouling and do you do lots of short journeys?

Given your driving habits, I would go for the 7 plugs.
