start with a .035 gap and go from there. make a couple of pulls and see how the car feels.

Yea, I am wondering that too. I am scared to break the tips as I hear iridiums are prone to breaking.

Your basic turbo setup with one step colder plugs should be fine with the gap they come with. If you do have to gap them don't use the regular gapper for your everyday plugs. Bring them to the auto part store and they should be able to help you out. If you see them going for a basic gapper rip that plug out of their hands cuz they don't know what they are doing.
