Bosch Platinum plugs bad for turbo?

I read on turbominivan.com that these plugs can break down (under higher boost levels) and little pieces of platinum can bounce around in your combustion chamber, and that regular spark plugs should be used. Does anyone know about this? I just dropped $$$ on some new platinum plugs a month ago and my turbo is going on this week.

stay away from bosch if you have a honda... just get some "colder" NGK spark plugs and you'll be happy.
