Default Cosworth going thru plugs

Has anyone any ideas why my 4wd saff is going thru spark plugs like no tomorrow. It is running rich on idle but it is rediculious the amount of plugs i have put in it and the car aint even on the road. I know it aint ideal just starting them and not running them. The car is running stage 3. I had it at the rolling road but suffered from clutch slip so he couldna do any tweeking but was pleased with the way the car ran.
Should i look into getting a chip for the lambda or anyone any other ideas??

Personally I would find a tuner that can recommend you a chip and at the same time they would be able to chose the right plug with the right heat range

The chip should be calibrated for CL?

If your not sure on this then is the first thing to get verified!
