Default New member, needing help with turbo manifold

So I have a 2000 silverado single cab that I recently installed a cx racing turbo kit on and I dropped it off to get tuned and my tuner is telling me that the manifolds are burning the spark plug wires and even cracking the ceramic on the plugs. How is this possible and what can I do? I've seen multiple people online use this same kit and not have these kind of problems. I've spent way to much money and got way to invested into this truck to turn back now. Someone's has got to know what I can about this? Any help is very much appreciated

What plug wires are you using?

I've never heard of the ceramic on plugs cracking from manifold heat.

I had Taylor wires on the truck, according to him he tried 40 different plug wires and every time it burns the wires and cracks the ceramic on the plugs. He's blaming the manifolds but this doesn't sound right to me.
