what kit are you getting ? how much boost will you be running ? are you getting a new fuel pump ? what are you using for fuel management ? ....please be more specific in the future... i'll try and field the question anyway...stock plugs and injectors will be fine up to about 10 psi...after that you will be above their limitations...their are other things to account for fuel in an aftermarket turbo..a RRFPR, higher pressure fuel pump, AEM ecu(plug for rod),5th injector,etc

I agree with everything Macdaddy said (especially the AEM) except for the plugs. I would run a minimum of at least 1 heat range colder plugs anytime you add boost. It's just another way to help prevent detonation. I would go further to say that at 10psi (on a T25 or 6psi on a T3) that 2 ranges colder would be wise.

As a nitrous guru and owner of several turbo cars I would say spark plugs are as important as the gas you run in the motor. Check and change them often and learn how to read them. They are a crystal ball into the inner workings of your engine.
