Ok I just bought some NGK Iridium IX plugs for my sr20det, part number
Bkr6eix. Would these be ok to run at around 8psi? The guys at Oreilys thought I was stupid or something for trying to use Iridums on a turbo car. Here is what one of the dudes said "Iridums... on a turbo car?? I had a Turbo Eclipse... I know what i'm talking about". So yeah are these plugs alright... is the heat range 6 ok? Also these don't need to be gapped, right? Thanks alot any imput would be great.

Thanks, I saw that but just wanted to make sure.

The thing is, NEVER listen to parts store guys if you have gone into the store already having done your research. When I must go to a parts store, I usually ask for what I want by part number and never tell them what car I will be putting it on, and I do not drive my car to the store, if I don't have to.

tell him its for a diesel motor. He'll have fun finding those spark plugs

But seriously, part store guys don't know too much.

Sometimes it can't be helped. Sometimes I would give them a part number, and instead of running the number, they ask for the application. I think some stores have a policy of checking so dumbass customers don't ask for refund when they get the wrong part.

Get a good store that knows you and stick with them, or find an OEM application and give them that to get them off your back. I know it's not likely with iridium, but for other parts in general.
