Should have posted in the forced induction section. I would have said NGK TR-55 but since you got the turbo im not sure that the best plug. Maybe a TR6?

I have bosch platinum 4's. they work OK, I don't have any complaints. I tried tr55's and they didn't seem to work too great on the top end, but i didn't adjust the gap at all because I was lazy.
