I know that the plugs are supposed to be colder than stock, but do they need robbery iridium? Is that the best bet?

No they don't have to be iridium. Most FI guys use copper because their cheaper and we know they will need replacing sooner than usual.

Iridiums will last roughly half as long as usual on a turbo engine, so you'll get around 50K or so on them, vs 3K or less on copper.
