Do you need plugs for turbo or NA. Also, how much power are you putting out?

Use punction, please.

My parts man says one of the plugs (bur7 or bur9) is longer than the other and the engine might not turn over if installed wrong.

They are both the same length. Your parts man is wrong.

Most parts counter people have no idea what they're talking about, especially dealing with rotaries.

As for the original question, using NGK BUR9EQs in all 4 locations will work fine.

no. he is wrong. in fact, if you look at a housing, you can see why. the plugs do not even go into the rotor. the holes you put the plug into are pretty long, so there is plenty of room in there. and the plugs are teh same size anyway.
