BPR7ESs should be fine and stock gap also since you are staying stock boost...

NGK BPR7ES gapped at .026 is good.
be prepared to change this plug more often since it is going to foul out a lot faster than an iridium...

NGK BR7ES gapped @ .026-.028 or however wide you can gap it w/o spark blowout.

don't get the BRP7ES, they have a protruding tip that our cars don't need.

OEM plugs set at the oem recommended gap. I had a set that was one degree colder and they all fouled out very fast. I bought some oem ones and I have never had a problem with them since.
