Dont know about PKR7E, all i know is a lot ofthe BT guys here and on other sites like to use BKR7E. Do you get a CEL and fault code when it miss's? Make sure your gap is correct. If the gap is too big,high boost can actually blow out the spark and cause a miss. I was getting miss's at mid to full throtle before and diagnosed it as a coil pack issue, but it turned out to be a couple cracked plugs. Check that too. Ive never heard of anyone using PKR7E though.. Maybe try BKR7E and see what happens.

I have the BKR7E's in there now caped to .028, I noticed all the stems on the coil packs were a bit warn out and beat up.. can you just change out those for the 2000 a4.. i know you could with the AEB cars.. ill check all the plugs but they are a week old.. the car ran great for a few days.. I have no codes

Dont know about changing the stems for ATW packs. I looked at mine and there didnt seem to be a way to pull em off. If you do need coil packs, i still have my old ones that are fine.

bkr7e is the best. I had some other NGK before ($11 each) and would not work better than bkr7e.

I use bkr6e right now because of cold weather.
