Which spark plugs should I get?

I was doing a search & found across several different NGK types. My mods are in my sig & my stock plugs have began ****ting out at 26k miles. I will be upgrading my turbo (not sure EXACTLY when) but hopefully soon, and im curious to know whether or not I should get a step colder or not, and what gap? How many miles will the coppers last, about 6-8k? LMK!

the rule is to advance one step colder for every 100whp. Gap around .25

why? there has been TON's of people that run copper its cheaper to replaced them every couple thousand miles then it is changing out iridiums, I mean i am running iridiums in my IX but that is because there are no copper plugs or i would be.

You can run one or the other, I run both too. What I meant from above is I only run 7s with alot more that 100+ hp over stock. Calm down Calm down.

The best plugs if money isn't an object are the ones that come from stock hands down in my opinion. They just aren't easy to get.
