The stock Champion plugs are fine - gap at 0.040.

Mopar Performance Ignition Wires 01-Up: Race and Street
Also, if you REALLY have no pep, have mechanic check the intake hoses - and to/from the intercooler - that none worked loose - that would do it....

Actually for my turbo it turns out the gap for plugs, as noted on the label inside my hood is 0.050. Also Autolite, who offers Extreme Performance plugs, specifically designed for the turbo, #XP 5263, actually ARE platinum plugs because these plugs support a higher temp, I'm told.
