Hey now, there's a concept I never considered....a simple conversion back to a N/A engine! Who needs a stinkin' turbo gas-guzzler anyway.
I will add this: Properly tuned with some supportive add-on gizzmos, a person can get 20mpg just tooling down the road. If mileage under those mild conditions is crap, look somewhere else (such as state of tune, AFR's and/or driving habits).
As to plugs, NGK are a fine choice but the Iridium version I think isn't so friendly with forced induction (I don't know that for a fact, just thought I had read that somewhere). I use NGK racing plugs R5671A-8 gapped to .040 with MSD ignition. Work fine for me. Plus, I have my ignition timing way advanced over stock and run AFR's at about 14.2 steady state down the road. Both help me obtain decent mpg.
