Default which spark plug? im confused!

ok, i did a search yesterday and found that it is recommended that i should use ngk spark plugs model # bkr7e for my turbo set up.

btw, its a 2000 integra gsr w/hondata s200b and using a t3/t4 turbo. custom kit but pretty basic. so yeah, i went to kragen and asked the guy if he had them in stock.

and the kragen guy said that he had the bkr6e in stock and thats the stock model. and if i were to go turbo, id want a COLDER plug, which would be a bkr5e. and NOT and "hotter" plug, which is what the bkr7e is. like, i know i should get colder plugs. so whats the deal here? WHAT DO I NEED TO GET?!?! im confused!

btw, the kragen guy has a 2000 civic ex with altezzas and stickers parked outside but his words seemed pretty knowledgable.

so any advice would be great. im still leaning towards the ngk bkr7e.

EDIT: bossting about 7psi..when it gets tuned

The parts guy is wrong. NGK's are kinda backwards that way. 6 is colder than 5, 7 is colder than 6, ect.
