Interesting. I use NGK in my race cars and most of my street cars, but the
only thing that doesn't have the tip blown off in quick order on my street
driver, a turbo Fiero, is Bosch Platinum, which last 60,000 km.
I have no idea why I have had such good luck, and you so bad, in similar
applications, but I guess it would be dangerous to generalise from either of
our examples.
I don't know what compression and boost you use. I use 8.5:1 and 13.5 psi of
boost, so it isn't really all that low effective compression!
