How is your tune? When i first went fi my ngk t6 plugs didn't even last a hour of run time due to how rich my motor was running. After 1 pull on the dyno they were cutting out at 4,000rpms. Had to do a plug swap on the dyno, Haven't had any rich or fouling issuses since the tune.

NGK TR6's you might want to go back to the tuner. Your car shouldn't be loading up like that.
