run ngk or denso iridium. forced induction needs a cooler running plug. NO PLATINUM!!

Iridium, yes
NGK, yes
Colder plugs:
Eample only (don't blast me) BCPR6EY, the number 6 determines hotter or colder, with NGK plugs the larger the number the colder the plug.
example BCPR7EY is colder than BCPR6EY ...
I can't remember what determines Iridium I believe its An "I" in the first couple of characters and a "P" for platinum..

Maybe some could help both of us out

im not to up with the plug decoding. but yeah just ask your local shop and sometimes a knowledgable parts salesman can look in a reference book and tell you what the heat ranges are. dont drop too many more than 1 or2 at a time. just keep checking the plugs to see for proper wear and coloration.
