What are you asking about? Injectors or spark plugs?

NGK or NGK V-power plugs will be fine. Fresh wires wouldn't hurt either.

NGK copper, I'd run a 7 or 8 heat range. You need to run colder than stock. Look for a BKR7E plug...thats what most people run under boost. You're also going to need to run a shorter gap.

Yep. I am running the BKR7E gapped to .030". Typically, you want to keep the gap as wide as you can without misfiring. This will put less strain on the ignitor.

Also keep in mind when dealing with NGK plugs, the higher the number the colder the plug. I've ordered 1 step colder plugs for my turbo b16 project which ended up being a 7.

You get a hotter spark with a larger gap as well.
