I dont know but i wouldn't run platinum in a turbo car. It holds heat longer than copper increasing the chance of detonation. I would stick with copper electrode ngk's

I don't think platinum plugs are going to create a hot spot/detonation situation if you get the correct heat range. Not that I really care if they do or don't - you get a better spark from cheap steel electrode plugs.
I use cheapass Densos. Why? Autozone stocks 24 of them at a time, and they never run out of stock... unlike the unobtainium NGK equivalents.

LOL, how often do you change your plugs?

Ran the first set of NGK for 8K miles. The past two sets of Densos saw 5K each, and I'm 800 miles into this set. I'm a freak about reading plugs, so it's no especial hassle to pick a set or two up when at the parts store.
