Bad news. The misfire is back. They are ER12S. Misfire above 80% load. Not sure what to do at this point. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Are the plugs torqued to spec?
If they are under torqued they could loosen up over time, we've seen that before.

The plugs are torqued to spec, and I'll check when I get home to see if they're still tight. I only installed them 3 days ago and re-gapped and re-installed two days ago, so if they come loose that quickly, then that's just crazy.
I'm driving a 15 GTI on 93 1.5 ED. Have been with that tune for 30,000 miles on stock plugs (20,000 miles before that on the same plugs). The second I installed the brisks, started having misfire issue. Then I re-gapped, and it went away, now it's back this morning.

Easy check, replace with stock plugs real quick go for a drive, if no misfires then the plugs you replaced with can be damaged or poorly gapped. Look for cracks and damage on the brisks.

Well of course I already threw away the stock plugs. Should I buy another set of stock or should I get another set of aftermarket plugs, like IKH's and give that a try?
Perhaps the 1.5 tune is not enough to run a colder plug and that's why it's misfiring?
In order to eliminate all culprits I'm thinking of maybe just doing this? https://www.hstuning.com/ignition-service-kit-4-pack-rs3-coils-rs7-plugs.html

Buy new stock plugs.

It should still run fine, the ER12S isn't a super cold race plug. There's something abnormal going on here.

So these are stock. Another option is RS7s?

Yeah I got a Yellow top, and was working just fine before replacing the plugs.

Ok just went and bought stock plugs.... Same issue.... Must have fucked up my coils by stretching them

I have a full set of good stock coils. $50 shipped.
PM me if you want them...although I would double check all the connectors on your existing coils and harness before buying anything.

The crazy thing is it worked fine after I reduced the gap... Something is loose or something...I think it maybe where the spring inside the boot is making the contact with the coil, is it supposed to be attached in any way or just free floating in the boot?
