Just a few questions, why not use the recommended NGK SILKGR9A7ES?
Is your car standard or tuned?
Are you having ignition / performance problems?
What increase in 'performance' are you thinking you may gain by changing the plug type?
What does your tuner say you should be running?
Don't forget running a hotter or colder plug can cause ignition problems that can lead to engine damage in some cases.
I'm sure for a standard performance car Audi don't just throw any old spark plug in and pray.
Some tuners even recommend using original factory plugs and coil caps.

Just asking.
