About your plug problems. IN GENERAL, platinum plugs are not recommended for turbocharging, especially high boost. The reason for this is that the platinum has greater resistance, and will cause misfires easier than standard plugs. Platinum is great for wear, and are intended for stock vehicles that aren't serviced very often. Just use standard plugs and change them often. Generally, a turbo bike will crap up/eat up any set of plugs pretty quickly, platinum or no. So save yourself some money and enjoy more consistent performance. These are just suggestions on turbocharging in general.
