This is worth a read to understand why you need 'colder' sparkplugs in a turbo/modified engine. Let us all know how much the NGK BCR8ES sparkplugs come out at, I need to purchase a set also.

Nice one, I melted a plug that was about half a cm too long at 120mph - scary -, Ricky P saved the day when it ragged the fudge out of my head when coming out!.
