What are people running on the 1.8T with tunes? Stock plugs seem to work fine still.

I'm still running completely stock plugs, but APR's site recommends stock plugs gaped a bit. We have the same plugs as the GTI so that helps a bit.

General rule of thumb is one heat range cooler for every 100hp you go up in power

Which plug would be correct then? I'm going over 100+ more HP from stock

That's a good deal on the NGK's, I might have to pick up a set.

Got a good video on changing the spark plugs? I am hoping it's easy on this engine... right on top?

Nope, I have no idea how difficult it might be 
. I figure I'm not the first one to do it, and no-one's complained about it that I can remember, so it can't be that hard.

I run the RS7 plugs, about to switch to my second set but they idle much smoother when they're new.
If you shop around you can find them for $50 or less shipped

UROTUNING has them for even less: https://www.urotuning.com/RS7-Ignition-Spark-Plugs-Gen3-1-8T-2-0T-p/079905626g-kt.htm
Since putting on aftermarket mounts the vibration at idle is definitely more, not sure if the plugs will help but it's cheap insurance for future mods. I'm already at 23.5k miles.
