what spark pluggs (what heat/spark) should i use with turbo

this weekend i am changing my pulggs beacuase they are the same ones i have had since the car was new. altough they were gapped for the nitrous, i was wondering what heat/spark (whatever it is called) i should go to now with the turbo.
i was also wondering what the stock ones are rated at? any help would be great.

In that case, either would be good. IK20 will still be fine.

IK20's are good for boost I ran them for the first 7 months of having my turbo. but imo bkr7e's are just as good and only 8.00 for 4 so I can change them frequently. plus BKR7E's come pregapped to .28 so no need to gapp them much.

oh and gap them to .28-.30 I have mine at .28
