recently ive used O71C cosworth plugs in xes and lets and run brilliant, if you run more than standard boost gap them down to .6.
8 quid a set deliverd from egay.
bc8res I think that's the code, escort rst ones tapped at 0.7

bcpr7evx gap .6 is what i used in my let'd 320bhp nova,i used comma motorsport 5w-50 changing the oil every 2500-3000 miles.
BCR8ES as Paul said, they are standard RS Turbo plugs and do the job perfectly.
Oil wise I have used Shell Helix 10/40 and not had any issues with it

10-40 mineral oil for your et mate to keep it in tip top. as for plugs go for what the book says and then go a step colder for every 50 bhp up on stock your running as a general rule of thumb
Mineral for running in yes but not for hard use.
The RS Turbo plug is ideal for any LET engine so it what I would use
