Default SR20DET..what plugs?

OK...what spark plugs are available for the engine? I know of the iridium's (they are in the car now) but since it has been so cold up here the car is running not so happy. Above 4K it is breaking up and popping through exhaust (boost is at 10PSI...low as I can get it with the weather we are having). This started after I lost that coilpack....new one is installed and if I ease into the throttle it is ok...but if I go WOT anything above 4K it is breaking up...we do get "winter" gas up here...but I dunno WTF is up...its either the gas or a plug fouling (running too rich maybe)? Any help is appreciated...it is too cold to troubleshoot right now...

Judge,

Which iridiums are in the car now? what brand, what heat range what gap?

for 10 psi on stock turbo i would reccomend NGK BKR6EIX (call # 6418 ). gapped to .030"

anything else and you are asking for trouble!! also, Denso plugs are crap never run them. lastly, if that doesnt solve your problem you might still have a coilpack issue
