Lot of plug info on here, and I'm a bit overwhelmed...
from my personal research, OEM is the way to go. it should already be pre-gapped i think but it may be worth checking it anyways. i think the gap is spec'd at 0.028" and the model is Bosch FR6KPP332S.

Thank you very much for the quick and informative response
a good point was brought up in the thread about how the direct injection keeps things cooler in the combustion chamber even with higher boost. maybe that's why the colder plugs are failing. the tuner told him to use stock plugs and he got cooler ones anyways.
yeah just go stock, by the sounds of it. so how do you like the chip? how's the milage? i have the rev D diverter valve but not the aftermarket PCV. i've been wondering about chipping and exhaust (milltek or APR) w/ high flow cats for a while.
Mileage - I've heard that as long as your foot isn't in it, it will not affect. I can't give you a definite, as my foot is always in it
I don't think it is noticeably affected though < 1 mpg city, if I had to guess.Power-wise, the difference is very noiticeable, a worthwhile investment for me.

I NEED to put revD (although they say B7 don't require it) and PCV...I will probably do that when I change plugs...which I am due but procrastinating.
