This is a post on another forum from Dream 4
"The "Essential Upgrade" parts list on the Mopar Stage 1 install / instruction sheet are "NGK LZTR5A-13, (4306), copper plugs gapped @ .035, or equivalent",
if you want to spend more money and have your plugs last longer, then you can use the NGK LZTR5AIX-13 (2314) Iridium plugs gapped @ .028, both of these plugs are "1 step colder" than the non turbo engine plugs, as recommended for every 75 to 100hp increase. These were recommended by the guys at the Mopar Performance Hotline at 888-528-HEMI (4364) and they are the ones that told me
not to use platinum plugs as the bonding metal that bonds the platinum tip to the electrode will melt and the tip will come loose and be sucked into the engine, our PT Turbo engines run around 1800 degrees in the combustion chamber, most other engines do not run this hot, so they can use platinum plugs, but not our turbos."
So no, I would not use platinum plugs in your turbo.
