Had them changed out today and the engine is silky smooth again...enough for even the wife to notice and comment when she drove it this afternoon.

Car is at 67k miles and there was no oil on the bottom of any of the Coil Packs.

Attached are some pictures of the spark plugs (including the worst one in higher detail). The engine definitely eats them as expected with the twin turbo setup. Plugs were previously changed as I recall at around 25k miles. Labor rate at my indy shop was ~$400 and it took them about 3 hours.

Worst by far...

No mods on car except carbon filter delete. Currently burn through 1-2 liters of oil between oil changes.

You live in Tennessee... Quarts, not liters...
