Yea, like I said, I know very little when it comes to ignition and trusted this shop (which my friends have been to, worked at, or have friends I've met at) I did some searching once I had the chance AFTER we swapped the plugs and found that same description.
I went in and asked for HT0's and made it clear that I wanted plugs one heat range colder than stock, he said OK he'd have them there in ~30 minutes, I also asked him about gapping (which I should've then realized this moron didn't know sh^t when he told me I should gap them to .030. You cannot gap the HT's is what I've found out) I went to pick them up, he handed me a box of HT1's. and not having the internet on hand and trusting this fellow from what was once a reputable shop in my mind, I took them after clarification that they were indeed one heat range colder.
I get the feeling this jackass didn't believe me when I said I needed colder plugs for my turbo car. Although I'm not sure how he could've believed otherwise, he HEARD my car spooling as I drove back down the street. But either way me and my buddy spent some time on this being delicate with the plugs I had. (I also now realize the previous shop swapped HT0's in for me without telling me. They are fouled beyond belief now.)
I'm absolutely livid right now that someone would do this. Especially after I palled around with the guy at the shop taking a look at what all was new, etc. and praising the quality of what I saw. I'm going back there tomorrow when they open and demanding replacements and that they swap the plugs and make up for the gas I've wasted on getting to their shitty business. Whether or not I'll get any of that is yet to be determined, but I have records of what they sold me, and I told him one step colder. If someone's going to believe I asked for one step hotter, or replacement N/A plugs when I very specifically told him "It has a turbo" when he asked "why do you need these COLDER plugs?" then they can say the same thing when questioned about fraud.
