I honestly have no problem with the suggestion to use the v-powers, so long as they are the correct heat range, it has actually been a long standing rule of thumb not to use platinum plugs on turbo engine (or any forced induction or nitrous), platinum plugs electrodes have lower melting points that the traditional counterpart and also have smaller electrodes more prone to hot spotting and causing pre-ignition, modern plugs I suppose have managed to egineer around their weakpoints, but still no reason why a traditional plug can't be used, I run Denso U-grooves in my 299 whp L28ET at 20 psi with no problems whatsoever and I run very aggressive timing maps!
I have melted v-power plugs in my old Nitrous ZC civic but I over gassed it so I can't blame the plugs
I always felt better about buying Denso's as they amade in Japan, NGK's are made in america, when I had a rabbit I ran Bosch
