Rear rotor problem

Morning guys. Hope everyone is doing well today. Im having a problem with car after ive put the single turbo on, had my injectors sorted out and got the afe right briefly yesterday car started running on one rotor. Still has good compression so its not broken however it keeps on eating the leading plug on the rear rotor. Any know what could cause this. Ive changed the plugs 3 times in the last 3 weeks... i get around 2 or 3 start ups on a set of plugs

When you say eating the plugs do you mean fowling them?

If they are dead, IMO, that would indicate that the electrodes are burned off or the insulators somehow failed - highly unlikely. The usual reason for no spark is fouling by coating the insulator with partially or totally unburned hydrocarbons from running too rich, or the plugs being too cold.
