colder plugs are a must with a turbo. otherwise they'll burn themselves out and you will cause strain on your crank because you arent getting even strokes. you will also waste a lot of feul.

My mechanic said to wait and see on the spart plug, Im a little pissed at him since he put all others infront of me, and the car is still not in the shop. We just had a snow storm, and theres 6 inches of snow on the car. So yea, Im a little pissed right not to say the least.

advanced spark timing + unleaded 87 = kaboom.

basically premium feul is a must.

im just saying that if you're misfiring in one cylinder. you will waste a lot of feul because a whole cylinder will go unburnt and you will get gas pooling in your exhaust.
