For turbo cars I have always stuck with the Volvo turbo plugs but many people swear by the Bosch FR7DC copper core plugs. They are cheap and do a good job as well although you might have to change them a bit more often. What's important is proper gapping of the plugs. Gap to 0.028 inches. Whatever you do, stay away from the Bosch Platinum plugs...they have been known to cause major issues. That said, the Bosch rotor and cap are what you want, but stay away from the Bosch wires if you decide to change these as well (highly recommended). Only use OEM Bougicord ignition wires. The Bosch and other 3rd party wires tend to cause misfires. Compare prices at both www.fcpgroton.com and eeuroparts.com Eeuroparts offers free shipping from $39 and up.
