I think iridium is what you're supposed to have. I remember seeing somewhere that on the tC that that's what you're supposed to have.

i dont think the question is the material but moreso the 1 step colder on a N/A set up... and if that is what you're asking... from what I was told, there is no benefit to doing so until you go F/I

The reason you go a range colder with F/I is because it helps stave off spark knock. With a N/A setup it's not gonna make any difference.
FWIW, the iridium plugs are good for a N/A setup, but they're junk for a F/I setup. Iridium doesn't conduct as well as copper, so you'll blow the spark out with boost. Use standard NGK copper plugs for F/I.
