Firstly your car shouldn't be boosting to 15psi unless you have a chip. A full decat may see you to 14psi without a chip but otherwise you should be boosting to about 13psi.
I would not go for iridium 8's, I tried that and they dont work weel with the coils. Get PFR7's and adjust to 0.7mm or even 0.6mm if running higher boost.

Buy the following bits
Knocklink and sensor.
Octane booster.
Your car is designed to run 100 ron fuel, some like 98 ron and some dont, id go for the correct fuel first, especially if your car is modified.
