Gap plugs for Alpine's turbo kit

I have the second turbo balt form alpine and at WOT my cel would flash rapidly then stay on for a second or to and then go off. I found out from another turbo balt from alpine that he was getting the same thing....and it is a random "Random Multiple Misfire" from the spark plugs not being regaped to .035..... my question is should i go a step or two colder in plugs? also what would be a good plug for me to throw in "since i heard that the ones in the 2.2 are crap for boost" i need info so when i pick up my car i can run the the auto parts store and pick up some good plugs. could random misfires lead to engine failure?

bump....i need some help

Check with Alpine, but usually turbo cars run a colder plug that NA.
