When I did a search on Chrysler, PT Cruiser, 2004, 2.4L Turbo, I got the following:

Stock # 2314
Part # LZTR5AIX-13

Those are the ones I ordered. Unfortunately, the part numbers you gave above...
...do not give a description as to what vehicle they are for.

crazy,

the part number I gave was for the srt-4, will fit on the GT, same engine. I went with those because they are 1 heat range colder. You should be fine with what you ordered.

I am sorry, I intended to state the price and the gap, but forgot.The plugs as received were .052 and I gapped them to .045. I found .045 was a good all around range.Use a wire plug gap tool and the electrode adjust tool to bend the ground electrode, don't tap on a hard surface as many people do. As long as you don't force the wire between the electrode and ground you won't have any trouble.I found that the folks on the SRT forums have it together, and seem to have more support from Dodge than we do from Chrysler.They also seem to have access to more performance parts. You PT owners may want to check out the forums.

Thanks for the info [?]
BTW, I think most of us here do keep and eye on the SRT board occasionally[^]

I'm curious SRT folks would go with LZTR6AIX-13, when SparkPlugs.com & NGK both recommend LZTR5AIX-13 for both the SRT Turbo and PT Turbo.

Plus, where did you get the info on the heat range. I can't find that at NGK's website.

Hope this answers your questions

Thanks. I also contacted NGK tech support. They recommend the LZTR6AIX-13 on heavily modded cars (upgraded turbo, boost controller, etc.). Since all I have is a GT with S1, Borla exhaust, & Airade CAI, the LZTR5AIX-13 should be suffecient. Plus it being a daily driver, with a couple of rare street races, I find no need for the LZTR6AIX-13. Maybe if I go with Stage 2 will I look into the LZTR6AIX-13.

FYI, the tech also stated NOT to change the gaps on the NGK Iridium plugs.

EDIT:
Hmmm. After further research. NGK's website states that it's better to run a colder plug. Too cold of plug can lead to fouled plug. Too hot of a plug can lead to engine damage. I guess, if I get the LZTR6AX-13, then I'll save myself some money instead of buying the LZTR5AX-13 now, then the LZTR6AX-13 when Stage 2 comes out. Time to change my order. Hopefully, it can be changed immediately, since my LZTR5AX-13 is supposed to arrive on the 20th.
