First Start on the new engine...
I am running a single turbo, with necessary supporting mods. What plugs should I run, to break in and get it started.

i run both in trailing and leading all the time, they are the stock trailing plugs which are colder than the stock leading plugs, the stock leading plugs are 7's... i have run the 9's all around in my car for a long time, and so have many others.

I'm totally guessing here, but for the very first startup, wouldn't it be easier to use fairly hot plugs, like 6s or 7s, just to get it to fire up for a few mins. After its been started a few time switch to a colder plug.
And actually you are probably alright running a hotter plug during break-in when you are out of boost.

What does leading and trailing mean... Are the leading plugs the ones closer to the top of the engine, and the trailing plugs the ones closer to the oil pan?
