bkr7e is the standard plug for the bseries when turbocharged. you can get a gapping tool right at the auto parts store. you are just setting the distance between the electrodes.

if the gap is too large the spark will blow out under boost before it has a chance to ignite the mixture. the gapping distance is different for every setup. .028 should do the trick for a stock b16 with moderate boost.
