The Trionic system uses the spark plug as a knock sensor in the engine, so it's VERY sensative to spark plug type. Many plugs will just plain not work.
As far as I know, only NGK and Bosch make plugs that are DI compatible. NGK was the first, and Bosch has come out with a part number for NA, and a different number for turbo engines. I tried a set in my NA engine, and wasn't impressed. Nothing really bad, just not as good as the NGK's. I have no direct experience with them in turbo engines, but I've heard of some folks having some problems.
If you get the Bosch plugs specifically designed for the DI turbo application, (don't have the part number handy) you can always give them a try. Don't go with any others, as they won't work.
Frankly, the proper NGK's work pretty well for me, so I've stuck with them. There are enough other variables out there that I'll keep the plugs a constant.
