Default Spark Plug Question!!

I recently purchased an 01 audi a4 Quattro (Turbo) 1.8L, and i want to change the spark plugs.
I originally wanted to try using the Bosch Platinum +4 but as i googled for more info, ive seen several warnings on using them on cars with turbos.

My question is... what spark plugs should i use? platinum vs copper? multiple electrodes or simply 1? NGK vs Bosch? If i should use regular old electrodes which ones exactly should i purchase?
I would really appreciate any help/advice that i can get. Thnx

I agree, search first. The short answer for stock is NGK BKR6E's.

Any auto parts store should stock them. You may want to call around. reply in subject line.
