Default Can't find ignition wires

My dream came true two weeks ago and I bough my first 2001 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro. It now misfires due to broken pins in the ignition wire - coil connection. Really want to put only nice new parts on that car but can't find them anywhere!
Autozone - doesn't even have in catalog
Advance Auto Parts - doesn't have in catalog
Pep Boys - doesn't have in catalog
eBay offers 6 wires in a set (for 6 cyl A4?).
Can't find 4 wires in a set. Am I supposed to buy those 6 and throw away 2 that are extra? Should I look for VW parts instead of Audi?
Any help is appreciated and sorry if it's a dumb question but I'm frustrated!

The 1.8t doesn't use plug wires it has coil packs. Each plug gets its own coil basically.

Even though - they come in 6 pack only. Are they the proper ones for my 4 cyl?

just look for coil packs - make sure they cover your model year

those are not for your car. there is no such thing as plug wires on the 1.8t. it uses coil packs that plug right ontop of the spark plugs.
