So I just bought a Zex dry kit from my turbo eclipse ( I know most ppl recommend a wet kit but I bought it before researching :p ) So it says I need plugs 2 heat degrees colder than stock plugs. Can anyone suggest some plugs for me? Also I have the ZEX Intake Air Filter which you plug your N20 line into, will it hurt for the nitrous to travel past my turbo compressor wheel, thru my intercooler, then into the intake?
 
NGK BPR8ES are 2 ranges colder than the stock BPR6ES.

Don't do it. Oxidizer and no fuel equals torched pistons. That's why everyone recommended the wet kit. Adding nitrous is kinda like adding more boost chemically. The objective of all power adders is getting more oxygen molecules into the cylinder.

Injecting nitrous before the compressor is a bad idea IMO, if you get more nitrous flowing to one cylinder for whatever reason then all sorts of things can go wrong. Not to mention tuning out the rich/lean burps when you shift and recirculate would likely be hell. Got standalone control? No offense, but with your seemingly limited experience with nitrous so far, you should only go with port or manifold runner wet injection and get a professional tune if you're seriously considering putting nitrous on your car.

On a side note, don't get caught on the street with a bottle of nitrous hooked up in your car. You'll probably find yourself in legal trouble very quickly, last I checked it's illegal for use on public roads in every state.
